The Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Veliky Novgorod is a Catholic church that is part of the Northwestern region of the Archdiocese of the Mother of God, centered in Moscow and led by Archbishop Metropolitan Paolo Pezzi. It is an architectural monument located at: Bolshaya Saint Petersburgskaya, 12. The church has a library of spiritual literature and hosts charitable organ concerts.

The first Catholics appeared in Novgorod in the 11th-12th centuries, and the first Catholic churches were built at that time. By the end of the 15th century, with the decline of Hanseatic trade, Catholic communities disappeared. Catholics reappeared after the annexation of the eastern lands of Poland to Russia in 1772-1795.

In 1874, a wooden church was built in Novgorod, which soon burned down. The newspaper "Volkhovsky Listok" mentioned the courage of the Catholic priest Father Felix Piotrowski, who during the fire in 1890 saved the Holy Gifts from the burning church. A new church, built with funds raised by Piotrowski, was completed in 1893 and consecrated on September 8 of the same year by Bishop Franciszek Symon.

The church, designed by provincial architect R.K. Krzhizhanovsky, is executed in the pseudo-baroque style. The main facade is adorned with two tall towers with ornate spires, with only the first tier remaining. The church had an organ, and organ concerts are still held here. By the early 20th century, the parish had 3,500 members, and it had a charitable society and an orphanage for 25 children.

Catholic priests taught at the city real school, the men's gymnasium of Emperor Alexander I, and the Nikolaev women's gymnasium. Chapels were attached to the church at the Catholic cemetery, in Borovichi and Nikolaev, as well as churches in Chudovo and Staraya Russa, which later became independent parishes.

After 1917, all valuables were removed from the church, and it was finally closed on March 5, 1933. Priests were repressed, and the church's property was distributed among state institutions and partially sold at auction.

During the Great Patriotic War, the church building was preserved but damaged. Later, it was reconstructed and used as a garage, and then as a children's cinema "Rodina," which operated until the 1990s. In 1993, a Catholic parish was registered in Novgorod, and in 1994, part of the cinema was transferred to the parish.

In 1996, the church was handed over to the Catholic parish, partially restored, and re-consecrated on June 16, 1996, by Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz. Worship services resumed in the church. The building features a two-column portico with a triangular pediment above the entrance, and on either side of the main facade are two baroque bell towers with ornate spires.
