Budeč (gord)

Budeč was a gord in Duchy of Bohemia within the modern Czech Republic, founded by the Přemyslid dynasty.

Today it is known as a place with the oldest preserved building in the country, the Church of Saints Peter and Paul.

Budeč is located on a hill in what is today the municipality of Zákolany in the Central Bohemian Region, about 15 kilometres (9 mi) northwest of Prague.

The written sources show that at the end of 9th and at the beginning of 10th century Budeč belonged to the main bases of Přemyslid dynasty.

According to "St. Wenceslaus legends", he lived here and learned the basics of education, reading Latin books and singing psalms.
