The Church of Saints Simon and Helena, also called the Red Church, is a Roman Catholic church on Independence Square in Minsk, Belarus. Designed by Polish architects Tomasz Pajzderski and Władysław Marconi in a neo-Romanesque style, it was begun in 1905 and completed in 1910. Its bricks came from Częstochowa and its roof tiles from Włocławek. Edward Woyniłłowicz financed it and named it in memory of his two deceased children, Szymon and Helena.
