Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church

Designation Date:  June 9, 2009
Designation Authority:  R.M. of Brokenhead
Present Owner:  Privately Owned

The compact, seven-domed Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church recalls the richness and depth of religious traditions brought to the Brokenhead area by Ukrainian pioneers in the early 1900s. Restrained yet symbolic in its form and detail, outside and within, the building is a fine representation of a village church based on Ukrainian architectural traditions adapted to the conditions and materials found in Manitoba. Erected by Anton Prychun, a local builder who constructed several churches in Western Canada and Ontario, this facility, now used for special services, is the only church still functioning in Tyndall, which once had six churches.
