Tracing the history of the Parish Church of SS. Apostles Peter and Paul in Różanka (Belarus) resulted in discovering and clarifying a number of previously unknown facts shedding new light on the magnate patronage in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The relations of the described building with the Pac family are quite obvious, noticeable at first glance as confirmed by the Gozdawa coat-of-arms impressed like a stamp under the count’s crown in the façade gable. The design to alter the Baroque church in the Neo-Gothic style by the architect Henryk Marconi, commissioned by the last heir of the locality General Ludwik Pac served as a departure point for the analysis of the architectural form of the church and its history. In the architecture of the Różanka Church inspiration in late-mediaeval Italian architecture composed on the grounds of the local building tradition with the application of innovatory materials such as Portland cement, were clearly visible. The artistic prestige of the church is additionally enhanced by furnishing elements created with the contribution of sculptors from Antonio Canova’s circle. The painterly decoration of the interior was executed in the inter-war period by the artists associated with the Wilno Society of Fine Arts.
