The Orthodox Cathedral of St. Gorazd, the successor of Bishop St. Methodius of Great Moravia, was built between 1937-1939 according to the architectural design of Protoierei Vsevold Kolomanskjr. It was financed by the Orthodox Church community in Olomouc which was established in 1924. The church had been consecrated before the occupation in May 1939. It was consecrated by the metropolitan of the Serbian Church St. Dositej and by the Bishop of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia St. Gorazd who was tortured by the Nazis in 1942.
The original parish church became a cathedral in 1950. In 1987, the Chapel of the martyred saint Bishop Gorazd was consecrated in the basement of the church. The last extensive reconstruction of the church took place in the mid-1980s.
