Church of Saints Peter and Paul, church in Horní Bobrová, Vysočina Region, Czech Republic

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is a Baroque building in Horní Bobrová with a rectangular nave and a tall tower on the western side. The interior features curved ceilings, large windows, a decoratively designed main altar depicting the two saints, and several side altars with religious paintings.

A medieval place of worship originally stood on this site but became too small for the growing community by the early 18th century. Architect Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel designed a new Baroque structure in 1714, which was consecrated in 1722 while retaining portions of the older building.

The parish belonged to the Cistercian monastery at Žďár nad Sázavou, whose abbot Václav Vejmluva commissioned the rebuilding; the church was consecrated on 5 October 1722 by Olomouc auxiliary bishop František Julius Count Braida. A chapel of the Holy Sepulchre was added on the north side in 1778, and a new organ replaced a century-old instrument damaged by woodworm in 1998.

The building is accessible during daytime hours for visitors to explore its interior spaces and examine the facade details that reveal different historical layers. The area surrounding the church is quiet, parking is available nearby, and you can reach the site on foot from the village center.

The church's orientation is reversed: after the medieval presbytery was removed, Santini attached a large hall to the east front, so the presbytery now lies in the western part. The main entrance was moved to the east facade, whose concave central bay carries a niche with a statue of Jesus and the crossed sword and keys of Saints Peter and Paul.
