Church of Peter the Metropolitan, Religious building in Pereslavl-Zalessky, Russia.

The Church of Peter the Metropolitan is a 16th-century brick church in Pereslavl-Zalessky, built as an equal-armed cross with oak ties. Flat pilasters divide each facade into three parts, linked by arched lintels, with one window per section. An octagonal lantern rests directly on the vaults without internal pillars, topped by a smaller octagonal lantern with slit windows and a scaly iron onion dome. A covered gallery on semicircular arches runs along three sides; the arches are now walled up and the gallery connects to the lower warm church.

A wooden church is documented here from 1420; the brick building was consecrated on 27 September 1584 or 1585. It stands on the sovereign's old court, so historians link its foundation to a Muscovite grand prince. The thick-walled lower floor later held the treasury of the Pereslavl provincial chancery, and the church was restored in the 1880s under V. V. Suslov.

The church has two altars: the upper, unheated one dedicated to Saint Peter, Metropolitan of Moscow, and the lower, heated one to Archangel Michael. Since the late 18th century the lower floor has housed the heated church. Until 1781 the church was supported by the state, receiving a fixed allowance.

The church stands on Sadovaya Street in the centre of Pereslavl-Zalessky, on the Golden Ring route. It is closed and under restoration, so only the exterior can be seen. A small stone bell tower built in 1821 stands on its south side.

In 1988, when the church stood in a state of emergency, the city Komsomol committee and museum researcher N. Levitskaya proposed installing a video bar or youth cafe on the ground floor and an international friendship club upstairs. The plan was never carried out.
