Свято-Покровська церква в Піддубцях - велика дев'ятикупольна культова споруда в стилі пізнього бароко з елементами, що характеризують перехід до стилю класицизму.

Церква збудована в 1745 році дружиною київського воєводи Людвікою Любомирською за проєктом видатного архіектора Павла Гіжицького як греко-католицька. Пізніше церкву багато оздобив великий гетьман литовський Михайло Казимир Радзивілл. В плані це вписаний у ротонду хрестовий храм із однією великою центральною вежею, до якої примикають із чотирьох сторін парні вежі.

Легкість форм, органічний зв'язок із ландшафтом та урочистість - все це відрізняє Покровську церкву від інших храмів Волині. Архітектору Гіжицькому також приписують авторство барокового вівтаря з колонами.
