Church of Sts Peter and Paul, Gothic church at the confluence of Elbe and Vltava rivers, Czech Republic

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul features a 60-meter-high square tower with a Baroque dome rising above the triple-nave structure.

The church construction began around the year 1000 under Princess Emma's patronage and reached its final form by 1520 after several architectural phases.

The interior displays Gothic arched ceilings, stained glass windows, and 1533 frescoes that remain unchanged since their original creation.

The bell tower observation level opens daily from 10 AM to 6 PM, while the crypt closes on Mondays and requires separate entry through an exterior door.

The church crypt contains an ossuary with bones of 15,000 people arranged in patterns of anchors, hearts, and crosses along earthen floor walls.
