At the Sofia side of the shaft, namely Demetrius street is the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. Construction of the church was completed in 1406. The church is an amazing structure, which differs completeness and maturity, giving the eyes a truly fine example of architecture typical of the 15th century.

The church is built of large stones limestone rocks, and the largest number of decorative elements are made of brick. From bricks stacked blades, cupola and vaults. According to the architectural type of the church it is a cube, one dome. Facades have trilobate completion of the building as a continuation of overlapping combination of a central Korobov vault with a pair polukorobovymi. It is worth knowing that the Novgorod architects of 13-15 centuries in the Member States to apply the angular polukorobovye vaults, while the remaining Member States, excluding the average were Korobov. That is achieved by constructive basis of tri-completions.

Facades of the church building is especially complete and strict proportions, and in the final fields punctuated masterfully and concisely-drawn ornamental brick masonry, composite motifs that are found in previously built monuments of Novgorod, taking the start from the middle of the 14th century. They are the bands cut their dimples triangular, pentagonal and round Niska, curb, rosettes, crosses and arkaturny relief frieze. On the facade, located on the south side, we have reached the five-member composition consisting of three windows and a couple of niches among them; It is topped with five-blade decorative brow. Vertical rods, rolls beautifully decorated apse of the church, who pulled a small semicircular arches.

The most important elements of the interior decoration of the building is almost the same as repeating the traditional solution, which was generated in the second half of the 14th century. Important feature of the interior of the Church of Peter and Paul is the arrangement of the entrance to the loft is not the thickness of the western wall, which is most often used in the construction of churches of Novgorod 12-15 centuries, and as a separate stone staircase, which was located in the northwestern part of the temple. It is this feature of the church repeats the technique that finds application architect famous church of Theodore in 1360.

In the 18th century on the south side of the church was built made of stone chapel of Three Saints, and later on the west side was added a small bell tower.

At the end of 15 - in the early 16th century, the church was divided into two floors. The western part of the choir had, which was in the northwest corner of the staircase. It has been allocated so-called podtserkove or basement, and the church itself was located on the second floor, that is, "On the porch." Above the previously ranked ancient portal, which has an acute form, it is a portal which can be found at a time when the temple was divided into two floors, and on its sides there were the remains of an old painting: on one side is depicted the apostles Paul and Peter, with another - Angel wielding a sword.

Pavel Gusev, who conducted the analysis of these images based on the fact that the picture of Peter and Paul, filled with oil paint in the manner of craft and art style, and painted angel made of fresco technique. The researcher concluded that the paintings are in a completely different time, because the image of the angel refers to the period of the 16th century. Based on what was the technique was to paint a picture of Peter and Paul, located on the right side of the portal, dating Gusev brought not only education, but also the transfer of the temple on the top floor of the 18th century.

Peter and Paul Church in Kozhevniki put on the bank Magus, its eastern façade facing straight to the river. Professionally painted silhouette, perfectly chosen proportions and well-chosen location are now making this wonderful monument to one of the most important components of the "eastern facade", located on the side of the Novgorod Sofia. But at the time, namely, during the Nazi occupation of the city of Novgorod, a church badly damaged. In 1959 the church was completely restored without changing the original shape.
