List of bishops and archbishops of Prague




The following is a list of bishops and archbishops of Prague. The bishopric of Prague was established in 973, and elevated to an archbishopric on 30 April 1344. The current Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Prague is the continual successor of the bishopric established in 973 (with a 140-year sede vacante in the Hussite era). In addition, the city also has an Orthodox archeparchy (archbishopric), Greek Catholic exarchate and the Prague diocese and patriarchate of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church seat in Prague.

Orthodox bishops of Prague


The first Orthodox mission in Czech lands was led by Saints Cyril and Methodius, some time before the East–West Schism, with its centre in Moravia. The current Czech and Slovak Orthodox Church comes from the Czech Orthodox clubs and partly arose from the early Czechoslovak Church which separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the 1920s. Consequently, the Czechoslovak Church tended towards Protestantism and an Orthodox branch split off. The Prague Archeparchy encompasses the whole of Bohemia.




  • Gorazd (Pavlik) of Prague 1921–1942

  • (...)


  • Dorotheus (Filipp) of Prague 1963–1999


  • Metropolitan Christopher (Pulec) of Prague since 2000



Greek Catholic bishops of Prague


Apostolic Exarchate in the Czech Republic was established in 2006. Exarchs:



  • 1. Ivan Ljavinec, 1996–2003

  • 2. Ladislav Hučko, since 2003



Prague bishops of the Czechoslovak Church and Czechoslovak Hussite Church


The Czechoslovak Hussite Church (until 1971 Czechoslovak Church) split off from the Roman Catholics in 1920s. Initially the church varied between Catholic modernism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism; today it is a Protestant church in principle.


Bishops of Prague Diocese:




  1. Karel Farský, 1925–1927


  2. Gustav Adolf Procházka, 1928–1942


  3. Miroslav Novák, 1946–1962


  4. Josef Kupka, 1962–1982 (in 1971, the church was renamed to "Hussite")


  5. Miroslav Durchánek, 1982–1988


  6. René Hradský, 1989–1999


  7. Karel Bican 1999–2007


  8. David Tonzar, since 2008


Prague is also the seat of patriarchs. The two first Bishops of Prague were also patriarchs. Since 1946, the patriarch is a different bishop.




  1. Karel Farský, 1924–1927


  2. Gustav Adolf Procházka, 1928–1942


  3. František Kovář, 1946–1961


  4. Miroslav Novák, 1961–1990


  5. Vratislav Štěpánek, 1991–1994


  6. Josef Špak, 1994–2001


  7. Jan Schwarz, 2001–2005
