New Provost Residence, Neo-Gothic residence in Prague Castle complex, Czech Republic
The New Provost Residence features sandstone cladding, patinated copper surfaces, and glass facades with slender steel frames throughout its structure.
The building changed functions in the 1950s when authorities confiscated it, leading to its transformation into construction worker barracks during communist rule.
The residence returned to church ownership in 2016 under restitution laws, marking a shift in the preservation of religious architectural heritage.
Visitors can explore the renovated courtyard with its granite fountain, discovering new commercial areas and a cafe within the extended sections.
The structure incorporates a narrow skylight connecting the roof to the north facade, creating patterns of natural illumination in interior spaces.
