EST: Väike palvemaja meenutav kirik valmis 1935. aastal, arhitektiks Märt Merivälja.

Ehitis ei järgi puhtalt harjumuspärast õigeusu kiriku arhitektuuri. Puitkiriku kelpkatus peegeldab 1920-30. aastate rahvus-romantilist iseloomu. Viiluharja keskel on väheldane ümar telkkiivriga haritorn.

Õigeusule iseloomulik sibultorn jäeti ehitamata kohalike inimeste soovil. 1938. a. Päevalehes kirjutati: „Torn jäeti ehitamata, sest osale koguduse liikmetest ei meeldinud projektis ette nähtud vanamoeline sibulakujuline torn“.

Kirikus tegutseb Treimani Pühade Apostlite Peetruse ja Pauluse kogudus.

ENG: The Church of St Peter and St Paul the Apostles in Treimani was completed in 1935 to the designs of architect Märt Merivälja. It is not a typical example of Orthodox church architecture - its roof reflects the nationalist and romantic character of the 1920s and 1930s, while its unusual tower is rather squat.

The 'onion domes' that traditionally adorn Orthodox churches went unbuilt on this church at the request of the locals. In July 1938 the Päevaleht newspaper wrote: "The tower was not constructed in 1935, as some of the congregation objected to the old-fashioned onion-like design."
