Peter and Paul Church is a Renaissance architectural monument built in the 16th century. It is a stone single-nave temple of a communal type with a rectangular plan. The transepts on the sides are poorly expressed. But the semicircular apse is strongly extended beyond the main volume. The ceiling is vaulted with lunettes. The architectural and artistic image of the temple is severe and monumental. This was achieved not so much by modest decoration as by a combination of the massive and squat volumes of the tower, the temple proper and the apse. The three-tiered square belfry tower is decorated with buttresses at the bottom, and ends with a tent with a spire at the top. The base of the tower serves as the vestibule of the temple; here, in the thickness of the wall, there is a wooden staircase that provides access to the upper tiers. The decor of the temple is ascetic and is mainly assembled on the tower, where the second tier is decorated with a simple arcade with pilasters, and the third with semicircular niches.

Oooh, Yandex gave me a chance to evaluate this ancient place. But I'll tell you what. Majestic. Even without repairs. Because the church is beautiful in its strict forms, not in its decoration. I also felt sorry for him because he was poor. And there was a broken rose bush. And this is unacceptable in a human way. In Belarus, they do not pick flowers on the territory of the church, but only bring flowers. And there's a mechanical hourly chime. So cute

You can't get inside, reconstruction. Let's hope that it will end soon and it will be possible to visit this place again.
