Сабор Святых апосталаў Пятра і Паўла; Пертрапаўлаўская царква
The oldest Orthodox church in Minsk that survived until our days. It was built in 1620-1630 and remains a striking example of Belarusian tradition in Orthodox sacral architecture. The church is richly decorated with frescoes and icons.
Свято-Духов Кафедральный Собор; праваслаўная катэдра

It became an Orthodox church in 1860s. Nowadays, it houses a magnificent icon of Our Lady of Minsk, the main religious symbol of the city. The church is richly decorated and is always busy with faithful and curious visitors.
Belarusian: Царква Святой Марыі Магдаліны, Russian: Церковь Святой Равноапостольной Марии Магдалины
The church was built in 1847 in the Classical and Russian Revival styles. Roman Catholics were invited to pray in the church after the last Catholic church in Minsk was closed by the Soviet authorities in 1937. The church was taken from believers in 1949 and used as a state film archive. It was returned to the Church in 1990.
Архікафедральны касцёл Імя Найсвяцейшай Панны Марыі
Built as a Jesuit church at the beginning of the 18th century, this beautiful Baroque church was closed or used as a sports training facility during different periods of the Soviet Union time. In the 1990s, the church was returned to the believers and became the archcathedral; the seat of the head of the Roman Catholic Church in Belarus. The building is a fine example of Baroque, an architectural style common to medieval Belarus. The church is squeezed between two modern buildings almost hiding it from passers-by, a witness to the prosecution which churches experienced in the Soviet Union.
