The Church of Saints Simon and Helena, also known as the Red Church, is a prominent Roman Catholic church located in Minsk, Belarus. Built between 1905 and 1910, it was funded by the noble Edward Woyniłłowicz and his wife, who dedicated the church to the memory of their prematurely deceased children, Simon and Helena. The church's striking red brick architecture, designed in the Romanesque Revival style by Polish architects Tomasz Pajzderski and Władysław Marconi, has made it a notable landmark in the city. Over the years, the church has served various functions, including a cinema and a theater during the Soviet era, before being returned to religious use in the 1990s.
