Photo and description

The old St. Peter and Paul Church was built in Kobrin in the 15th century. It is mentioned in the documents of 1465.

In those days when Field Marshal Suvorov lived in Kobrin, the church was located in the center of the city, not far from the house of the famous commander. Suvorov's piety is widely known. He was a zealous Christian, sang in the church choir, read the psalter. Suvorov's psalter is still kept in this church with love and respect with the inscription: “Suvorov sang and read to this psalter.”

In 1864, it was decided to renovate the much dilapidated Suvorov church.

The name of the famous Russian commander saved the church in Soviet times from closure and ruin. Only this one temple was spared by the communists. The services in it did not stop for a single day.

At the beginning of the 20th century, they decided to build a large pompous stone church in Kobrin, and move the small wooden church, so beloved by Suvorov, further, to the outskirts. Emperor Nicholas II was the initiator of the construction of the new church. Signature lists for collecting donations were distributed throughout Russia.

The Suvorov Church was repaired as best they could and in 1912 it was re-consecrated in a new place. It is curious that the large stone church, for the sake of which the move of the historic church was started, was never built. The reason for this is the beginning of the First World War.

The new Republic of Belarus highly appreciated the modest Suvorov Peter and Paul Church and included it in the list of its historical and cultural values. Inside the temple is very cozy. Visitors say
