The Church of Peter and Paul on Sinichya Hill, located on Silnishche in Veliky Novgorod, is a Russian architectural monument. The church was built at the initiative of the residents of Lukinaya Street. According to the Novgorod First Chronicle, on May 6, 1185, the Lukinitsi laid the foundation of the stone church of the holy apostles Peter and Paul on Silnishche. The construction was completed in 1192, and Archbishop Gregory consecrated it on Peter's Day. This date is mentioned both in the chronicle of the Nikolsky-Dvorishchensky Cathedral and on the coffin of Kharitina. It is likely that the 12th-century church was built on the site of an older structure. At that time, the area was located one league from the city and was called Sinichya Hill due to the tits that inhabited there. The church was accompanied by the Peter's cemetery and a women's monastery.

The monastery was one of the few women's monasteries outside the city and was simultaneously considered one of the poorest in Novgorod. In the 15th century, or according to another version, in the 13th century, the holy Kharitina of Lithuania lived here. In 1611, the monastery was attacked by the Swedes, and in 1764 it was finally abolished. In the 19th century, a bell tower was added to the church, and a chapel appeared nearby.

In 1925, the church was closed, and in 1934, the bell tower was demolished. In 1960, the Peter and Paul Church received the status of an architectural monument, and in 1992 it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list as part of the historical monuments of Novgorod and its surroundings. However, by the beginning of the 21st century, the condition of the landmark had become emergency. In 2010, members of the Novgorod Society of Antiquities organized a cleanup to prevent the church from collapsing due to snow. After that, the authorities promised to carry out restoration.

The structure is built of plinth, bonded with a mortar of lime and crushed brick. The church has a cross-dome structure with three apses, four pillars, and one dome. In style, it is closer to the churches of Kyiv, Smolensk, and Polotsk than to Novgorod's.
