One of the oldest buildings in the city is the monastery of the Holy Cross. The monastery was founded in 1270 on instructions from the Danish Queen Margaret II. This monastery complex is the only one in the city, that has been completely preserved centuries later. There are several unique buildings of the 13th century on its territory. Nowadays, it keeps the exposition of the historical museum. All buildings are accessible for visiting. You can admire not only historical artefacts, but beautiful interior decoration, as well. There remained a church, which is now run by the local university.

On the bank of the Varna river, is an ancient church of St. Peter built in the middle of the 14th century. At the time of construction, it was the tallest building in the city. Its tower rises up to 117 meters. For many years, it served as an indispensable reference point for local fishermen. During the Second World War, the religious building was partially destroyed. They failed to restore many unique design elements. Currently, the main value of the temple is an ancient organ. The tower of the church is equipped with an excellent viewing platform at an altitude of 45 meters. The most beautiful architectural monument is the house of Kerkhoff. In the second half of the 15th century, it was built by the local burgomaster for its own family. The Kerkhoff family owned the house over 120 years. Then it came to desolation. Only in the first half of the 20th century, the city authorities bought out the old house and reconstructed it. Now, the building is used as a city archive. It is remarkable for the luxurious decoration of the facade. They used burned brick to decorate it.
