The Church of St. Peter and Paul and the bell tower in Golynka are included in the state list of historical and cultural values of national importance.
The village of Golynka is located on the Nacha River, 21 km south of Kletsk, 148 km from Minsk and 23 km from the Kletsk railway station, which is the administrative center of the village Council.
St. Peter's Church Peter and Paul in Golynka is a wooden church located in the local cemetery, which is considered an example of folk architecture. It was built at the expense of the landowner Chizh in the Vandorff estate in 1788. Visiting books have been kept in the church archive since 1745. The temple acquired its modern appearance in the second half of the 19th century after a major reconstruction. As a result, the temple has added features of neoclassicism and retrospective-Russian style, including a pediment above the main entrance.
In the center of the symmetrical axial three-dimensional composition of the temple is the main octagonal structure, to which various rectangular babynets and an apse with side sacristy adjoin along the longitudinal axis. All parts of the building are connected by a single rubble base and horizontal framing of the facades. The walls are decorated with rectangular windows of various sizes. The main entrance to the temple is distinguished by four tall columns and a triangular pediment.
In 1863, a new wooden iconostasis with pilasters with gilded capitals was installed in the apse. The royal gates are decorated with carvings and medallions of evangelists. The iconostasis is decorated with paintings by local craftsmen and gilded carvings.
In 1863, the temple was renovated with government funds and the architectural composition was complemented by a freestanding bell tower topped with a turret with a hipped roof.
In 1909, a one-story wooden parish school was built. The church was restored in 1991.
In 2007, the church and the Brama bell tower were included in the State List as a historical and cultural value of national importance.
