New Provost Residence, Neo-Gothic residence in Prague Castle complex, Czech Republic
The New Provost Residence is a Neo-Gothic dwelling within Prague Castle, featuring sandstone walls and patinated copper roofing. Its interior combines traditional architecture with contemporary glass elements and slender steel supports that allow natural light throughout.
The building was seized in the 1950s and converted into housing for construction workers during communist rule. It returned to church ownership in 2016 through restitution laws that addressed post-communist property claims.
The residence returned to church ownership in 2016 under restitution laws, marking a shift in the preservation of religious architectural heritage.
The site is accessible from Castle Square through several entrances and invites exploration of the renovated courtyard spaces. The redesigned area features cafes and shops where visitors can rest during their visit.
The structure incorporates a narrow skylight connecting the roof to the north facade, creating patterns of natural illumination in interior spaces.
