General information about Ship House (Shifa) (Chernivtsi)

The house at the intersection of Holovna and Sholom-Aleykhema streets, which resembles a ship in shape (in the Bukovyna dialect, "ship" is from the German schiff). The narrowed facade resembles the nose of a ship, the open area on the second floor is a deck, and the tower above the roof is a mast or pipe.

Urban legend says that the house was built by a local entrepreneur for his sailor brother, who was called to return home after many years of traveling across distant seas.

Будинок на перехресті вулиць Головної і Шолом-Алейхема, що нагадує формою корабель (на буковинському діалекті "шифа" - від німецького schiff). Звужений фасад нагадує ніс корабля, відкритий майданчик на другому поверсі - палубу, вежа над дахом - щоглу чи трубу.

Міська легенда свідчить, що будинок-корабель збудував чернівецький підприємець для свого брата-моряка, якого покликав повернутися додому після багатьох років мандрівок далекими морями.
