A monument of Neo-Gothic architecture of the 20th century. The church, which houses one of the most revered Catholic icons of Belarus - the Queen of Polesie.

The church was founded in 1905 and consecrated in 1913. Its construction was an important event for the local Catholic community, which was actively developing during this period. The church served not only as a religious center, but also as a place of cultural life, where various events were held. Despite the political and social changes in the country, its walls contain many stories related to the faith and hope of local residents.

The architecture of the church impresses with its elegance and harmony of forms. Tall towers and spires give the building grandeur, and beautiful stained glass windows fill the interior with soft and warm light. The interior is also distinguished by a wealth of details: carved elements, paintings and elaborately decorated altars create an atmosphere of comfort and holiness.

In recent decades, the Church of Saints Peter and Paul has been the subject of restoration and preservation. Efforts have been made to support the religious community, which makes it possible to pass on cultural heritage to the next generations. The church continues to be a place of worship, as well as cultural events, which makes it an important part of the life of the village.

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Logishin is not only an architectural masterpiece, but also a symbol of faith and unity of the local community. It continues to attract tourists and believers who want to touch its history and atmosphere of spirituality.

 Every year in May and August, processions of pilgrims flock here, traveling tens of kilometers, to pay tribute to one of the most revered Catholic icons of Belarus – the miraculous icon of the Mother of God of the 18th century, which has a separate name "Queen of Polesie".
