Church of Saints Peter and Paul, Medieval church in Hosín, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul stands in the middle of Hosín at the crossroads of the roads from České Budějovice to Hluboká and Ševětín. The neo-Romanesque church of 1899–1900, designed by Jan Sedláček, has a Greek-cross plan with three apses, a 36-metre square tower and two smaller turrets on the north facade. Much of the masonry is yellow fireclay brick from Zliv; the presbytery faces south, not east. The Romanesque core of 1260–1280 survives as an eastern side chapel.

A Romanesque church with an apse was built here between 1260 and 1280. Around 1340 it was enlarged for capacity, the old Romanesque nave was vaulted and kept as a sacristy decorated with Gothic frescoes. A Baroque tribune was added for church music, and in 1899 most of the church was demolished; the new neo-Romanesque building by architect Jan Sedláček was consecrated in 1900, with the Romanesque core reused as an eastern side chapel.

The church is the parish church of the Roman Catholic parish of Hosín, with Mass held every Sunday at 10:30. The open porch on the west facade carries the coats of arms of former Hosín landowners. The Gothic wall paintings found in 1901 were restored by the academic painter Ludvík Kuba.

The church stands mid-village at the crossroads of the roads from České Budějovice to Hluboká and to Ševětín, so it is reached on foot from the surrounding lanes rather than from a hillside. Mass is held every Sunday at 10:30, the surest time to find the building open.

The church stands mid-village at the crossroads of the roads from České Budějovice to Hluboká and to Ševětín, not on elevated ground. Its 36-metre square tower is the tallest structure in Hosín. The presbytery faces south rather than east, unlike most churches.
