Stt Peter and Paul Rotunda at Budeč Stronghold, being built around the turn of 9th/10th centuries, represents the oldest Christian architecture in Bohemia preserved in its original masonry up to the present days. Thus, it provided the basis for scientific discussion on the provenance of the architectural traditions of Pre-Romanesque rotundas in Bohemia that was held in the last century. The subject of that discussion has a particular potential for research on the past "European integration" illustrating Early Medieval cultural streams and communication network; as well as might it bring some light to the process of European Christianisation. The previous discussion was however affected by the contemporary informational basis and also by historical paradigms and public orders. In my research, I am going to access the topic with an alternative approach, preliminary based on a critical assessment of the above described discussion and on a complex revision of the previous archaeological and structural surveys of the Stt Peter and Paul rotunda. Then, I will set the Bohemian rotundas in a broader European context focusing on particular elements, as their social environments and settlement contexts. This paper presents the actual results of my research and discuss the possible ways for further investigation.
