Now it is the Institute of Applied Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine The architectural ensemble of three brick buildings was erected in 1895 at the expense of Mykola Sukhanov. An "English" garden-park with a wooden gazebo and a flower garden was laid during the construction. This small palace was built as a private family estate. During the Civil War, part of the collection of Kyiv industrialist Oscar Hansen was kept here – porcelain tableware and paintings. After the establishment of Soviet rule, the estate with the art gallery was twice nationalized and twice returned to the owners of the estate: the first time by the Central Rada in 1918, and the second time by the Denikins in 1919. Now in the premises of this complex is the Institute of Applied Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

In 1702, on the initiative of Colonels Gerasim and Andrii Kondratiev, the first stone church was built in Sumy - Voskresenska. In 1791 it burned down completely and was rebuilt only at the beginning of the XIX century. At the time of construction, in addition to the sacred role, the temple also played the role of a fortress, as evidenced by the extremely thick walls and deeply embedded windows-embrasures. In Soviet times, the church served as a dormitory and warehouse. In the postwar period, beginning in 1945, the local authorities attempted to destroy the Church of the Resurrection. In 1966, a new decision was made to demolish the building, but then it was transferred to the Sumy Art Museum. In 1978 the church was restored, and in 1996 the building was transferred to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate.

One of the greatest churches in the city of Sumy is the Transfiguration Cathedral. In 1788, residents built a brick church on the site of the wooden Church of the Transfiguration. The construction required more than a million bricks, so a separate brick factory was built for this purpose. The 60-foot bell was brought from the liquidated Sumy Assumption Monastery. The cathedral acquired its modern look after a major reconstruction carried out in 1882–1892 according to the project of Kharkiv architect Mykhailo Lovtsov. The expansion of the cathedral took place at the expense of Sumy merchants Dmytro and Mykola Sukhanov, to whom grateful Sumy residents installed memorial plaques in the temple vestibule. The chimes for the bell tower of the Transfiguration Cathedral were made in 1884 by the companies Winter (St. Petersburg) and Voipe (Bokenem, Germany). Transfiguration Cathedral Sumy is the only Orthodox church in the world with Catholic sculptures installed on its dome.
