Church of St. Peter at Poříčí, Romanesque and Gothic church in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic.
Church of St. Peter at Poříčí is a building that blends Romanesque and Gothic architecture with four towers and separate bell structures. The structure shows both styles clearly in different sections.
The church was built in 1150 as a Romanesque basilica and underwent Gothic reconstruction in 1382 when the northern section was redesigned. The southern Romanesque portion remained intact.
The church long served as a gathering place for German-speaking communities in the medieval settlement of Poříčí. Today it is maintained by the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star and continues as an active place of worship.
The building stands on Biskupská Street and houses well-preserved Romanesque towers along with a Gothic portal. The Romanesque towers are clearly visible from outside and show the different building phases.
Excavations during renovations in the early 1900s revealed multiple construction phases and documented the shift from Romanesque to Gothic periods. These findings helped clarify the exact timeline of the rebuilding.
