St. Peter and Paul, Gothic church building in Ostrów Tumski district, Wrocław, Poland.
The brick structure features a square nave measuring 24 by 14 meters, connected to a three-bay chancel with multiple-slope gable roofs.
Initially recorded in 1175 as a Cistercian chapel, the building underwent reconstruction between 1241 and 1257 due to castle fortification expansion.
The church served as a hospital for French prisoners during the Napoleonic Wars in 1813, reflecting its role beyond religious functions.
The building stands near the riverbank of Ostrów Tumski, with buttresses reinforcing both the chancel and the northern wall of the nave.
The church interior contains a reconstructed cross-ribbed vault supported by a central stone pillar, restored during the 1952-1953 renovation period.
