Very beautiful gothic cathedral. You have to go inside. You can appreciate all the art inside. The view of the church is especially beautiful from Joselfska street as you are walking towards the Cathedral. On a hazy day, it looks quite spooky against the skyline, stilla beautiful gothic monument. The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul (Czech: Katedrála svatého Petra a Pavla) is a Roman Catholic cathedral located on the Petrov hill in the Brno-střed district of the city of Brno in the Czech Republic. It is commonly referred to locally as simply "Petrov". It is the seat of the Diocese of Brno and a national cultural monument that is one of the most important pieces of architecture in South Moravia. The interior is mostly Baroque in style, while the exterior shell is Gothic that dates mostly from the 14th century, and its impressive 84-metre-high towers were constructed to the Gothic Revival designs of the architect August Kirstein between 1901 and 1909. The original cathedral site dates to the 11th century.

The grounds around the cathedral are lovely, really nice views of the city's! The cathedral looks magnificent! Really well constructed and maintained! The inside is nice, but not what you'd expect ! Less impressive than other cathedrals around Europe, still nice however, it's modest and ndot flashy! Definitely worth a visit! You can climb the tower to the top , cost 30czk , about €1.20, 160 steps or so! I was the only one there when I went which made the experience even better! When you get to the top there are two points either side where you can go out and look at the city! Unfortunately, cloudy day , would be amazing on a clear day, but still lovely view! At the top of the tower the bells are just above your head, so remember the bells can ring at any moment! I forgot this, and got a huge fright when they rang! Made the experience even better! Definitely recommend going up the tower if at the cathedral, or even if in Brno!

This is definitly a must see. You can climb up and look out over all of Brno and see the city. Plus, the cathedral provides you with detailed information about its history. There are so many details and beautiful pieces of art on the inside that are woth looking at. When you climb up to look out over Brno, you also get access to the treasury. Here they have different goblets and religious artifacts to see. There are about two rooms of various artifacts on display. It is nicely laid out. It is about 30 KC to go up to the top.

St. Paul’s Cathedral is truly awe-inspiring! The architecture is magnificent, with its towering spires and intricate details that showcase its historical significance. Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful, with beautiful stained glass and impressive artwork that adds to the grandeur. The view from the top is absolutely worth the climb, offering a breathtaking panorama of the city. This cathedral is a must-see for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply a moment of reflection. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️

Known locally as Petrov, the Catholic Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul has a Gothic architecture and Baroque interior. What’s fascinating is that the bells are rung at 11 o’clock instead of 12. Legend has it that in 1645, after months of continuous fighting, the Swedish forces had set themselves a limit to conquer Brno by noon on the 15th of August. Some clever locals and spies changed the course of the Thirty Years War by ringing the bells one hour before noon. In consequence, the Swedish army retreated.
