The powerful defensive church of the holy apostles Peter and Paul in Peremyshliany was built in 1645 for the Dominican monastery at the expense of the Potocki magnates who owned the city.

In 1730, the church was reconstructed and soon became a parish church. After the Second World War, the temple was closed and resumed its work only in 1997. Restoration has been carried out.
