Saints Peter and Paul Church, Catholic church in New Hradec, US.
Saints Peter and Paul Church is a church building in New Hradec constructed from brown brick with an eight-sided wooden bell tower. The windows feature decorative tracery patterns and the interior accommodates roughly 300 people.
The building was erected in 1917 after the original wooden structure was destroyed by fire. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
The church embodies the heritage of Bohemian immigrants who established their community here, and continues to shape how descendants gather and celebrate together. Worship and gatherings reflect the Central European traditions that remain part of daily life.
The building sits on Lafayette Street and is straightforward to locate and visit. Those planning a trip should check current access conditions and visiting times beforehand.
From 1918 to 1950 the building served simultaneously as both a place of worship and a school, where Sisters of Notre Dame taught the young. This dual purpose reflected the evolving needs of the growing community.
