General information about Holy Apostles Peter and Paul Church (Berezhany)

The Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in the late Gothic-Renaissance style has a pronounced fortification character, as it was part of the system of city fortifications of Berezhany.

It was built in the years 1600-1620 on the initiative of the then owner of Berezhany, Adam Yeronim Synyavsky, according to the project of the architect Pavlo Rymlyanin, as the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin. The bell tower was rebuilt from a defensive tower in 1741.

In Soviet times, a gym was placed here.

Now the church again belongs to the Catholic community of the city, consecrated in honor of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul.

Костел святих апостолів Петра і Павла в пізньоготично-ренесансному стилі має яскраво виражений фортифікаційний характер, оскільки входив до системи міських укріплень Бережан.

Споруджений в 1600-1620 роках з ініціативи тодішнього господаря Бережан Адама Єроніма Синявського за проєктом архітектора Павла Римлянина як костел Різдва Богородиці. Дзвіниця перебудована з оборонної вежі в 1741 році.

В радянські часи тут розмістили спортзал.

Нині храм знову належить католицькій громаді міста, освячений на честь Святих апостолів Петра та Павла.
