60 years

-----

The time of construction varied. In the North, churches were being built of wood, and these could be built in a summer. In poor parishes of much of Western Europe, there were still churches being built of wattle and daub on timber frames, and these could be built very quickly. A stone church typically took a number of years, and when we read the histories of the churches, we might find that 60 years was indeed the time that passed between breaking ground and the installation of the bell in the belfry, but typically, the church was in use for most of that time.

For ever. Most medieval religious building were constantly altered, added to, parts taken down and moved throughout their history. These are "high maintenance" buildings which are in a constant state of repair. They reflect the changes in architectural style and religious practices that have taken place over the years.

Prague Castle was not built in a single effort, but in a series of steps. The oldest part of it, dating from about 870, was a walled church. Other church buildings were added in the 10th century. A convent was later added, with appropriate protective walls. Then a palace was constructed in the 12th century, with rebuilding in newer style in the 14th century. More building was done in the 15th century.

About a 100 years. They did not work constantly on it, meaning that there were year long breaks between building phases. The first building was erected in 1031, but destroyed in an earthquake. So in the middle of the 12th century they started to build what you can see today. The last major adaption (not counting renovation work) was done in 1285.
