The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul (Petrov) is one of the dominating features of the city of Brno. A Norman church was originally on this site; in the 14th century, it was re-built in the Gothic style. Right from its inception, Petrov was an important church within the city. The cathedral had 21 altars at the end of the 15th century. The cathedral was damaged in the year 1643 during the Swedish siege, and was burned down. Between 1743 and 1748 the aisle was re-designed into the shape which it has today, according to the design of Mořic Grimm. The chancel was re-gothicized at the end of the 19th century. The overall reconstruction was finished by the Vienna architect August Kirstein in the year 1909, when the cathedral received two towers, and other civil adjustments were implemented. Among the decorations inside the Church, you cannot overlook the statue of Madonna and child which dates from around the 1300´s, a late Gothic pieta, Baroque altars and a rostrum.
