Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul

Overview

Standing atop Petrov Hill, this iconic cathedral features neo-Gothic twin towers that define the Brno skyline. Construction began as a Romanesque church in the 11th century, and it has been rebuilt several times since. Uniquely, the cathedral bells ring at 11:00 rather than noon — a tradition tracing back to a legend from the Thirty Years' War, when ringing early tricked the Swedish army into lifting their siege. The tower offers panoramic views over Brno. Cathedral free; tower about CZK 60. 5-minute walk from Tram 4 Šilingrovo náměstí stop.
