Church of Saints Peter and Paul, Gothic church ruin in Dolany, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is a Gothic ruin standing alone in fields on a low terrace above the Berounka river, in the cadastral area of Hlince near the vanished village of Dolany. Only the perimeter walls remain; a blocked Romanesque capital and a single-stone window in the west wall survive in the masonry.

The present early Gothic church was probably built in the second half of the 13th century and is first mentioned as a parish church before 1350. During the Hussite wars the village of Dolany was burned and the church abandoned; by 1481 Dolany was deserted and the church partly demolished. In 1530 Kryštof of Kolovrat had the remaining perimeter walls repaired, and the church was ruined again in the Thirty Years' War.

The church's patronal feast was celebrated on 29 June, the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, and on 18 August for Saint Joachim; the Peter and Paul pilgrimage continued even after worship moved outdoors beside the closed church in the 1880s. The bells were transferred in 1878 to the church of Saint John of Nepomuk at Chříč, where they remain.

The ruin stands alone in open fields above the Berounka floodplain, reached on foot; the terrain is unpaved and the walls are roofless, so wear sturdy shoes. The site lies in a flood zone, and the 1881 commission cited this when it declined costly repairs. Approach from Hlince, 12 km east of Kralovice, at 260 m elevation.

The bells were removed in 1878 and taken to the church of St John of Nepomuk at Chříč, where they hang today. A small bell later placed in the roof turret above the west entrance is thought to be in the bellcote at Holovousy.
