Saints Peter and Paul Church, Orthodox memorial church in Prokhorovka, Russia.
The Memorial Church of Saints Peter and Paul is an Orthodox place of worship in Prokhorovka featuring a white exterior and traditional architectural style. A raised bell tower crowns the structure and rises visibly above the surrounding landscape.
Built in 1995, this church stands near the site of a major tank battle that took place in July 1943 during World War II. That conflict became one of the most significant military engagements on the Eastern Front.
The church walls carry the names of around 7,000 Soviet soldiers who fell during the battle of Prokhorovka. These inscriptions create a personal connection to those who died, making the history tangible for those who visit.
The church is located on a regional road between Belgorod and Prokhorovka with parking available on the grounds. Access on foot is straightforward and the surroundings are open to visitors.
The church serves a dual purpose as both an active place of Orthodox worship and a war memorial. This combination creates a singular place where faith and remembrance coexist.
