St. Peter and Paul

St. Peter and Paul Church is located on the hillside of Karlovy Vary. It is a very luxurious Orthodox church with a very dazzling golden onion-shaped tower. The church was built in 1897 for Russians who came to Karlovy Vary for spa treatments in the 19th century. It was designed by architect Gustav Widemann, who referenced the ancient church of Ostankin near Moscow. The whole church is in Byzantine style, there are very exquisite carvings on the pillars, and the interior decoration is luxurious.
