Sts. Peter and Paul Russian Orthodox Church is a historic church in Bramble, Minnesota, United States.
The onion domed church was built in 1917-1918 by Russian immigrant homesteaders, who had come to the United States in search of a better life. The land was donated by William Lucachick, an area farmer.
The first Mass was celebrated by a Russian Orthodox priest from Chisholm. The interior contains an iconostasis installed in 1926. In keeping with Russian Orthodox tradition, there are no pews. Most of the congregation stands throughout the service, except for the elderly and infirm, for whom there are benches provided.
