The Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul is located on the hilltop here, on
the presumed site of the former Brno castle (including a chapel) from
the 11th and 12th centuries. After the castle`s demise a detached
Romanesque basilica was rebuilt as a Gothic cathedral in the 13th
century, further modified in the 15th and 16th centuries, and converted
in the Baroque style in the 18th century. Its current neo-Gothic form
dates from the turn of this century. Since 1777 the cathedral has been
the seat of the Brno bishopric. The original church crypt from the 12th
century is now accessible to visitors.
