Arcibiskupský seminár jako instituci pro výchovu budoucích
katolických kneží založil arcibiskup kardinál
Arnošt z Harrachu. Snažil se tak nahradit nedostatek
katolických kneží v první polovine 17. st., proto koupil
bývalý Králuv dvur nedaleko Prašné brány a prestavel jej na
arcibiskupský seminár. Pozdeji byl seminár preložen do
Klementina.
V letech 1928-31 vystavel architekt František Havlena pro
katolický seminár monumentální novoklasicistickou budovu v
Dejvicích. Strední predsunutá cást budovy s hlavním vchodem je
zdobená toskánskými polosloupy, nad ní je hranolovitá vež s
kupolí ozdobenou krížem. V této cásti budovy je vlastní
studentská kolej a refektár (jídelna). Na protilehlé strane objektu
vchodem z Kolejní ulice se vchází do seminárního kostela sv.
Vojtecha a do pastoracního strediska. Kostel je vysvecen, ale není
vyzdoben, slouží i jako divadelní, koncertní a promítací sál.
Jsou zde elektronické varhany.
Tento katolický ústav vybudoval v r. 1930 arcibiskup
František Kordac. Za svou krátkou historii byl dvakrát
zrušen. Za nacistu na 4 roky a podruhé za komunistu v r.
1953. Do jeho budovy se pak nastehovala svetová redakce casopisu
Otázky míru a socialismu, který byl centrem marxistické propagandy.
Tehdy byl stržen i kríž na kopuli budovy. Z Karlovy
univerzity byla vyclenena Teologická fakulta, byly zrušeny
diecézní semináre a vytvorena jednotná Cyrilometodejská fakulta se
seminárem v Litomericích pro Cechy i Moravu. Tento stav byl
napraven až v r. 1990, Teologická fakulta byla znovu zaclenena
do Karlovy univerzity, arcibiskupský knežský seminár byl
obnoven a mohl se vrátit do své puvodní budovy. Kríž na kupoli
byl obnoven r. 1991.

The Prague Archiepiscopal Seminary
The Dejvice neighbourhood is known, among other, by its many
universities (Charles University, Czech Technical University,
Institute of Chemical Technology faculties) and student residences.
This micro is located nearby one of these buildings – the
Archiepiscopal Seminary, which is the place of the Catholic Faculty
of Theology of the Charles University.
The Archiepiscopal Seminary was founded by the archbishop
cardinal Ernst Adalbert von Harrach as an institution to raise
future catholic priests. His aim was to alleviate the absence of
catholic priests in the first half of the 17th century, therefore
he bought the former King’s Court near the Powder Tower and
rebuilt it as an archiepiscopal seminary. Later the seminary was
moved to the Klementinum.
In the years 1928-1931 the architect Frantisek Havlena built for
the catholic seminary a monumental neoclassicist building in
Dejvice. The central advanced part of the building with the main
entrance is decorated by Tuscan embedded columns, above it there is
a prismatic tower with a cross decorated cupola. There is a student
residence and a refectory (menjador) in this part of the building.
On the opposite side of the edifice through the entrance from the
Kolejni street there is the access to the seminary church of St.
Adalbert and to the pastoral centre. The church is consecrated, but
not decorated – it also serves as a theatre, concert and
projection hall. There is an electronic organ here as well.
This catholic institution was created in 1930 by archbishop
Frantisek Kordac. During its short history it was two times
abolished; during the Nazis for a period of four years, and for the
second time during the Communists in the year 1953. The building
then served as the headquarters of the editorial office of the
“Questions of Peace and Socialism” magazine which was
the centre of Marxist propaganda. During that period even the cross
on the cupola was pulled down. The Faculty of Theology was
separated from the Charles University, the diocesan seminaries were
abolished, and was created a centralized Cyrilo-Methodic faculty
with a seminary in Litomerice for Bohemia and Moravia. This
situation was rectified until the year 1990; the Faculty of
Theology was reintegrated into the Charles University, the
archiepiscopal clerical seminary was restored and was returned to
its original building. The cross on the cupola was restored in the
year 1991.
