St. Peter and Paul Church is an architectural monument of Pseudo Russian style. The church was built in the center of the town in 1866. In 1877, a wooden church school was built near the brick church. After the suppression of the Belarusian liberation uprising of 1863-1864, the Russian government began to actively build new Orthodox churches and Orthodox parochial school in Belarus. Under this policy the Church of Saints Peter and Paul was built. Interesting, despite the difficult times of the twentieth century, the church survived. It survived two world wars and Soviet atheistic authorities. In the period from 1972 to 1988 there were restoration works at St. Peter and Paul Church. The building consists of three parts: the prayer hall, the refectory and a semicircular apse with a bell tower above it. Inside you will see a beautiful wooden altar of the XVIII century, and icons.
