Not far from the flat descent starts transverse plityanaya "wall mayor Boris", which was built in 1309. This wall protects the city from the famous river Pskov and coming to the Church of Peter and Paul to buoy set in the same place during the reign of Grand Duke Dovmont. To have survived is evidence that shortly before the death of the prince in 1299, to the city of Pskov unexpected troops approached the German knights who brutally destroyed the surrounding monasteries, including Snetogorsky and Mirozhsky. It is near the St. Peter and Paul Church, Prince Dovmont dealt a crushing blow to the unexpected German guests.

So far it is not known exactly what exactly was the temple of Peter and Paul, who was a real character and evidence of Pskov victory over the German knights in the late 18th century. Even stone temple with Peter and Paul Bui was built not far from the destroyed wooden church in 1373; in 1540 the church was radically rebuilt. It was the last stone Peter and Paul Temple survives today, having undergone certain alterations and restructuring.

Konchanskoe Peter and Paul Church in modern times plays an important and prominent role in the compositional and architectural appearance of the area. Another four or five centuries ago, the church bushel looked a little higher, because the cultural layer reaches a sufficiently large thickness.

Especially monumental and solemn temple looked from Crom, but still more by the Zapskove, although we can not say that the temple is characterized by a large and impressive size. This circumstance contributed to the successful arrangement of the church at the edge of the cliff and the winding coastline; In addition, an important role in general played and the picturesque silhouette of the entire structure.

The share of the temple fell three fairly global repair that alternated with almost a hundred years intervals and led to what has been lost, some of the chapels, the belfry in two flights in the south-west wall of the quadrangle, the old head of both. Recently, the results of work of the restorers has recovered some of the temple.

As for the domestic component of the church, it is possible to emphasize that it was rather peculiar. Church - chetyrehstolpnyh and has a nice and detail-defined arches that rest on pillars connected by arches. Peter and Paul Church had in the northwest and southwest corners of the principal amount of the tent, which served as small chapels, joined wooden choir. On the outside of the northwest corner of the quadrangle he was joined by another chapel, and the fourth and fifth chapels were in their usual places, ie at the south-eastern and north-eastern corner of the quadrangle were compound as galleries.

The quaint appearance of the St. Peter and Paul Church is determined by a combination of the most diverse and different-domes that surround the main dome .  The heads of the chapels and the main temple had coverage in the form of tiles, which fully complies with the tiled mite, located on the top of the drum, where the inscription was found on how the construction of the church took place .  Modern iron coating head, decorated embossed figure and delicate cross, seems to have been carried out during the repair in the early 18th century .  Windows drum made very narrow and have the edge, and the cornice is decorated with a small number of unique arochek-kokoshniks .  Facade of the church, on the side, have a southern and northern sides of the completion of a completely asymmetrical pryasel .  Three low apse are symmetrically arranged and have different heights and tapered cover and decorated with several rows of squares and triangles, literally pressed into the surface . 

In summary, we can say that Peter and Paul Church with Bui is a type Konchanskoe churches and markedly different from the traditional ornaments characteristic of Pskov, namely a kind of ceramic belt, located on the drum, as well as hramozdannoy inscription.

In 2006, restoration work was completed in the temple, and on July 12 the same year the church was consecrated, after which the church became applicable.
