Tourists are welcome to visit the ornate interior of the Saints Peter and Paul Church, a Russian Orthodox church on St. Paul Island, one of the remote Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska, USA. Built in 1905, the wooden building is the place of religious worship for descendants of the Aleut natives brought by Russians to the island in the 18th Century to harvest the fur seals that breed and raise their young on St. Paul. The church has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980.
