Church of Saint Peter in Dubeč, Religious monument in Dubeč, Czech Republic.
The Church of Saint Peter in Dubeček is a Roman Catholic filial church of the Uhříněves parish, standing on Lipové Square in the centre of Dubeček. It was completely rebuilt in 1867–1868 in the Neo-Gothic style, when its tower was added; only the masonry of the nave walls and the vault of the presbytery survive from the original Gothic building. A Baroque mortuary chapel and an unused cemetery with few remaining gravestones lie beside it.
The first written record of a church here dates from 1364; its Gothic predecessor stood through the Hussite wars, when the parish and the village of Dubeček died out. Nobles of the Zápský ze Záp family were buried here in the 16th century. The church was rebuilt in Baroque style in the mid-18th century, then completely rebuilt in Neo-Gothic style in 1867–1868, when the tower was added. Only the nave walls and the presbytery vault survive from the Gothic building. Further restoration followed in 2004–2005.
The church holds a copy of the Votive Panel of Dubeček, a late 14th-century painting by a medieval master found in the building in 1891; the original was bought for the Picture Gallery, today the National Gallery in Prague, in 1892. Mass is held regularly on Tuesdays and Sundays.
