The iconic Church of Saints Simon and Helena, affectionately known as the Red Church, is a prominent Roman Catholic landmark on Minsk's Independence Square, easily accessible by metro (Ploshcha Lyenina station) or on foot. Visitors can explore this architectural marvel independently, with typical visits lasting 15-30 minutes, or include it as part of a guided city tour for deeper historical context. Entry is free, though donations are welcome. Open year-round, its operating hours may vary, especially during services, so respectful conduct and modest dress are advised. While the exterior and main nave are generally accessible, visitors with mobility challenges may find some internal areas limited. Its distinctive red brick and tumultuous history, including its past as a cinema, make it a fascinating and worthwhile stop.
