Kostel sv. Petra

A simple, small, yet very pleasant church with a rich history.

Beautiful cultural monument 😉

Originally a Gothic church of St. Peter, documented in 1362 (already a parish church), is one of the important monuments of Dubce. In 1867-1868 it was rebuilt into Neo-Gothic, at that time the tower was added. The bell, however, is much older. It was created in 1659 by the bellmaker Benedict Briot of Lorraine. The original Gothic church has retained the masonry in the perimeter of the nave and in the presbytery. The interior of the church is pseudo-Gothic and comes from the time of the church reconstruction. At the end of the 19th century the church acquired a new one-manual organ. Until 1892, a precious painting dating from before 1400 was painted by a Czech master. It depicts the donor of the Church invoking St. Nicholas. Andrew and seven provincial patrons. Now it is located in the National Gallery and in the church you will see only a copy, which in 1892 painted by Jan Janovsky. On the occasion of the reconstruction of the church, two ash trees were planted in front of it. One of them was felled in May 1945 and served as a material for barricades during the Prague Uprising, but the other lasted until today. It has almost four meters of trunk circumference and in 1999 it was declared a memorial tree.

very cozy and beautiful church

Filialni kostel sv. Petra in Dubečka is an ancient foundation. The oldest mention dates back to 1364. The architecture of the main altar is pseudo-gothic. There are several tombstones in the back of the church. There is only one bell in the tower today, which was overflowed in 1659. In 2004, the exterior was completely repaired, including the roof. The church is very nice.
