Literally 12 kilometers from the city of Lyakhovichi, Brest region, you can see Church of St. Peter and Paul. One-tower temple located in the village Medvedici, clearly visible even at the entrance. The stepped facade of the church has a tiered structure, which ends with a high spire with a bell tower. The construction of the Peter and Paul Church was completed in 1908, on the site of a wooden predecessor, according to the project of a fairly well-known Polish architect - Stefan Schiller. Since Stefan was a representative of the eclectic style, the characteristic elements of mixing are also visible in the church.
