Summary/Abstract: This article deals with Arnošt of Pardubice, bishop and the first Archbishop of Prague since 1344. The author summarizes some important aspects of the life and work of this famous figure of Czech history. In the person of Archbishop Arnošt we can see a great builder, an open-handed sponsor of art and a very educated organizer of the life in his diocese. However, he was not only the Archbishop of Prague and counselor of Charles IV. But in him we find also a man of deep prayer and respect for the Mother of God. His worship and his sense for holiness can be an inspiration as much for us as it was for the people living more than 600 years ago.
