St. Peter and St. Paul's Church, Tula

St. Peter and St. Paul's Church features Russian pseudo-gothic architecture with detailed ornamental elements visible throughout the brick structure and exterior facade.

The construction of the church began in 1893 after local authorities granted permission to build a new place of worship for Tula's thousand Catholic residents.

The building represents a combination of Catholic religious traditions with Russian architectural elements from the late nineteenth century construction period.

Located on Leo Tolstoy Street at number 85, the church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architecture.

Following nationalization in 1918 and closure in 1932, the building served as a newspaper office before returning to religious use in 2007.
