New Provost Residence, Neo-Gothic residence in Prague Castle complex, Czech Republic

The New Provost Residence (Nové proboštství) is a Neo-Gothic building on St. George's Square at Prague Castle, next to St. George's Convent. Built by Josef Mocker in 1877–1888, it is a single-storey symmetrical structure of exposed masonry with two gabled projections, an asymmetrical balcony on the left, and a statue of St. Wenceslas by Ludvík Šimek on the corner.

The present building replaced two older houses: a Renaissance residence of the Prague Castle captain and a neighbouring house that held the supreme provincial scribe's seat until 1650 and then the abbess of St. George's Convent. Josef Mocker built the new provost residence in 1877–1888 while working on St. Vitus Cathedral. Confiscated under communism, it was returned to the Metropolitan Chapter in 2016.

The building bears the name of the provosts of St. Vitus Cathedral, who moved here from the Old Provost Residence. In 2016 the Metropolitan Chapter regained it after giving up claims to other houses in Vikářská Street, and the courtyard and selected interiors are to open to the public.

The building stands on náměstí U Svatého Jiří, house No. 34/4, beside the St. George's Convent. Reconstruction ran from 2020 to 2023, restoring the historic building, rebuilding the demolished courtyard wings and revitalising the courtyard. The courtyard and selected parts of the building are to be opened to the public.

The courtyard is laid out as a plain garden with a pavilion and a fountain, and it opens onto a view into the Stag Moat below Prague Castle.
