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.

The beautiful, majestic church impressed even more than in Gervyaty. I would say that the decoration is unique and the priest is very hospitable. It's worth visiting the Czeslaw Nieman Museum here.
