The Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. The construction of the red brick church took place in 1897-1903 according to the project of Konstantin Wojciechowski. The temple was built on donations from both ordinary believers and rich nobles. Their names were stamped on the slabs around the main entrance and in the lower part of the walls. However, in 1947, the Soviet authorities ordered them to be covered with cement. Later, the church was closed altogether.
It was only in 1988 that the faithful were able to regain the shrine. The temple impresses with the beauty of its interiors. An artificial cave has a special beauty and originality, inside of which there is a chapel-grotto in the Art Nouveau style. There is a fresco depicting the main contributors to the church, its first priest– František Sokolovski, an architect and organist.
There is also a memorial plaque inside to Man Nemen, an outstanding Polish singer and composer who was born in Starye Vasilishki, was baptized in this church, and his father worked as an organist.

It is necessary to see it, to take part in the service, to hear the organ. At one time, people invested everything they could into the church, and during the period of atheism, they kept the property safe. We got to a reception in Moscow with the top leadership of the country (USSR) and achieved our goal. At one time, the entire roof was replaced, just to save the temple. Thank them for everything they did. Today, unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer residents (parishioners) every year, but the next generations should know the history of the church and their Homeland.

A stunningly beautiful Gothic church! Required for the room! The frescoes on the walls are 100 years old, but they look great, wonderful stained glass windows, if the priest allows you to go up to the organ, then the solemn beauty takes your breath away! The priest is a very friendly, cheerful person, easily communicates, can allow you to listen and play the organ. Leave donations, the temple is aged, so some repairs are required. I highly recommend visiting, the building leaves a strong impression!
