Saint Apostles Peter and Paul Church

Saint Apostles Peter and Paul Church is one of Minsk's oldest surviving Orthodox churches, built in the early 17th century. Its white walls, compact proportions, frescoes, and icon-filled interior give a rare sense of the city before the great rebuildings and wartime destruction.

The church is close enough to the Upper Town to include on a central walk. It is still active, so step inside quietly and dress with the usual respect for an Orthodox church.
