Sts. Peter And Paul Church (St. Paul Island, Alaska)

Sts. Peter and Paul Church (‹See Tfd›Russian: Св. Церковь Петра и Павла) is a Russian Orthodox church on St. Paul Island, Alaska. The current church, built in 1907, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Now it is under Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America.

A first church was built in 1779 "according to legend"; a second church was built in 1819 atop the island's tallest hill. The current church was built in 1907, and was then "one of the most ambitiously designed and effectively executed small churches of the Byzantine tradition in Alaska." Its onion domes, however, were repeatedly damaged in storms, and have been replaced.
