A
Nikalaivsky Church
Behind the Valour rock in the Brest Fortress complex is the attractive Byzantine Nikalaivsky Church, the oldest in the city, which dates from when the town centre occupied the fortress site. Once part of a large monastery before being turned into a soldier's garrison club, it was gutted during the 1941 siege but has been restored and now holds regular services.

St Nikolaiv Church
With its gold cupolas and yellow-and-blue façades shining gaily in the sunshine, the finely detailed 200-year-old Orthodox St Nikolaiv Church is one of several lovely churches in Brest.

St Simon Orthodox Cathedral
Just a block west of Hotel Intourist is the peach-and-green St Simon Orthodox Cathedral, built in 1865 in the Russian Byzantine style (the gold on the cupolas was added in 1997).
