St. George’s Church
beginning of the Tolstoho Street
The Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul was founded in 1775 as a regimental church, which always and everywhere accompanied the 46th Dnipro Infantry Regiment, and did not leave it even during the war with Napoleon in 1812. When the regiment settled in Proskuriv, it was decided to have a building for the church. A collection of donations was announced, and in 1898 the St. George's Church was built at the expense of the parishioners, and a little later, in 1906, a bell tower was completed near the church. Interestingly, insides of the temple was not painted by artists but by skilled soldiers.
In Soviet times, the church building fell into disrepair. Its restoration began in 1996, and now it is named after St. George the Victorious.
