Synagogue foundations and preserved ritual bath

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the town of Schwedt was one of the Brandenburg towns with a relatively high proportion of Jewish citizens. In the second half of the 19th  century, the community numbered about 200 members. The time of the National Socialist dictatorship led to the expulsion or extermination of all Schwedt Jews. Today, the Jewish cemetery and the preserved ritual bath still remind us of the time when Schwedt still had Jewish citizens. A museum takes care of the sites today. The museum is open seasonally from May to September.
