Olomouc Orthodox Church
Olomouc Orthodox Church or Church of St. Gorazd is an Orthodox Christian church in the city of Olomouc in Moravia, in the Czech Republic. It was built and consecrated in 1939 and dedicated to St. Gorazd. In 1950 it became a cathedral, because Olomouc is the seat of the Olomouc-Brno eparchy.
The church was repaired in 1985–1987. In 1987, the church saw the canonization of Bishop Gorazd of Prague as St. Gorazd II. Bishop Gorazd had been executed by the Nazis in 1942 for hiding the paratroopers who assassinated Reinhard Heydrich.
