Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Sts. Peter and Paul

• the pastoral location on a large tree-sheltered plot in the Kosiw area, about two kilometres north of Riding Mountain National Park, with the building in a traditional east-west alignment;
• the separate two-tiered wooden bell tower with an iron Latin cross on its pyramidal roof, one window on each side, a panelled wood door and two bells.

Key exterior elements that define the church's traditional Ukrainian ecclesiastical style include:

• the compact cruciform massing, including gable-roofed sections of equal length and a small shed-roofed rear extension, all of wood-frame construction on a concrete foundation;
• the striking roofline dominated by five metal-clad banyas, including a large two-tiered dome surmounted over the crossing on a square base and four smaller banyas on low octagonal drums;
• the orderly fenestration, including round-arched sash windows with modest tracery and wood surrounds, oculi, also with tracery, in the gable ends, etc.;
• the attractive entrance sequence, including a shallow gabled porch with a round-arched opening, panelled wood doors, and a blind transom with painted letters and symbols, the date of construction, etc.
• the simple details and finishes, such as the painted horizontal wood siding, light contrasting trim, round-arched banya openings, scrolled wood trim under windowsills, etc.

Key elements that define the church's well-appointed and symbolic interior character include:

• the traditional layout, including a combined narthex and nave with transepts, a narrow loft supported by two shaped pillars, a raised sanctuary and an open dome carried on round arches and pendentives, etc.;
• the substantial wooden iconostas richly adorned with iconography; also with gold-painted trim, pillars, faux porticoes, arched doors, etc.;
• the modest materials and brightly coloured finishes, including wood panelling, vertical wainscotting, a sky blue ceiling with a star motif and applied icons, stencilled designs on the walls, borders in gold, round-framed icons in the pendentives, dark-stained wood trim and flooring, coloured window glass, etc.
