Church of Saints Peter and Paul, Gothic church in Nové Hrady, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is the parish church of Nové Hrady, standing by the town walls on the eastern edge of the town. Its core was rebuilt from the foundations after the 1467 fire, with rough construction finished by 1510; the presbytery carries a Swabian net vault, among the most intricate in South Bohemia. A Renaissance barrel vault with a four-pointed Danube-star rib pattern was added in 1590.

The church originated in the Gothic period and was later expanded with Renaissance elements in the 16th century. From the 17th century onward it served as both a parish church and a monastery church, establishing its role as a religious center.

The church holds deep roots in the local community as a place of worship that has shaped religious life for generations. The interior tombs and decorations reflect the families and beliefs that formed the identity of this small town.

The church is located in the center of Nové Hrady and is easy to reach on foot from most parts of town. Visitors should note that opening times may vary depending on local religious services and events.

The monastery was founded by Ferdinand Charles Buquoy and his wife Margaret between 1678 and 1685, reportedly in gratitude for his recovery from serious wounds suffered fighting the Turks. Its foundation stone was laid on 27 May 1678, and two suspended brick corridors link it to the church.
