Church of Saint Peter in chains, Roman Catholic church in Velenka, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Peter in Chains in Velenka is a Baroque building erected in 1733–1734 to a design by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. Its core is an oval nave with an apsidal presbytery, a slightly projecting west facade with a small tower, and a later-added entrance porch. The church stands within a walled cemetery that also contains a mortuary.

A parish church of Saint Peter is documented in Velenka in 1352, likely a wooden building near the village green. After the parish lapsed, the church became a filial church of Sadská. In 1728 a new church was decided upon as part of improvements to the Silesian Road; it was built in 1733–1734 to the second design by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, supervised by Jakub Schödl, and consecrated on 29 September 1734. After decades of decay, reconstruction of the facades, roof and interior painting was completed in 2014.

The church is a filial church of the Roman Catholic parish of Nymburk, formerly attached to the parish of Sadská. Its dedication to Saint Peter in Chains is reflected in the main altar painting, František Antonín Müller's "Liberation of Saint Peter", installed in 1734. A side altar holds a painting of Saint Adalbert repainted in the early 20th century.

The church stands on a slight rise above the village, not in the centre, and its west facade joins the ends of the historic cemetery wall; the building closes the cemetery's east side. The cemetery is still in use and includes a mortuary, so access is through its grounds.

The high altar, made around 1735, holds a painting of an angel appearing to Saint Peter by František Antonín Müller, who also painted the two side-altar images. A bell cast in 1790, 32.5 cm across, bore a crucifix and the inscription "WCF 1790" with a relief of Saint Mary Magdalene on the back.
