Olomouc Orthodox Church, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Olomouc, Czech Republic

Olomouc Orthodox Church, also known as the Church of St. Gorazd, is a cathedral in Olomouc, Czech Republic, built in 1939 in a Byzantinizing Russian style. It has a six-sided tower with a high pyramidal roof topped by a gilded onion dome, and a lower bell tower with three bells above the entrance. The interior features an iconostasis with three icons from the original chapel and a ceiling painting of a dove.

The church was constructed in 1939 as a brick building showcasing Russian Revival style. In 1950 it was elevated to cathedral status and became the seat of the Olomouc-Brno eparchy, solidifying its role as a major Orthodox religious center.

The nave's icon programme pairs scenes from the lives of Christ and the Theotokos with portraits of Orthodox saints of many nationalities and silhouettes of Byzantine, Serbian, Kyiv and Moscow churches. Above the main entrance, Czech and Moravian saints appear alongside Jan Hus, Jiří z Poděbrad and Jan Amos Komenský.

The church stands on a triangular plot near the bridge over the Morava, at the corner of Pasteurova and kpt. Nálepky streets, with its long axis aligned to Komenského street. The main entrance is reached by a widening staircase; two side entrances and a separate stair to the sacristy on the south side serve the building.

Bishop Gorazd II, for whom the church is named, was canonized here in 1987 and became an important figure in Czechoslovak church history. This canonization made this place especially meaningful for Orthodox believers throughout the region.
