Former Karolinenthal Synagogue - Karlínská synagoga

The Karolinenthal Synagogue is a former Jewish house of prayer in Prague 8 - Karlín. The synagogue was built in 1861 in the neo-Romanesque style].

The Karolinenthal Synagogue was intended for the wealthy local Jewish community. Until the end of 1921, Karlín (Karolinenthal) was an independent town with a predominantly industrial production focus. Many of the town's wealthy factory owners and merchants were Jewish. The synagogue underwent several structural alterations. The last functionalist alterations to the interior were carried out between 1928 and 1930.

Jewish services were held here until the beginning of the Second World War. The local rabbi until 1939 was Dr. Isidor Hirsch (1864–1940), who was forced to retire as a result of the Nazi occupation.

After 1945, the Karlín Synagogue was returned to the Prague Jewish community.

In 1950, the Jewish community sold the building to the Czechoslovak Hussite Church. (CČSH). The sacred building was rebuilt for Christian services and is still used by the CČSH today. The rear wing, which used to be the rabbinate, the winter prayer room and the home of the rabbi of the Kořim region, now serves as the CČSH parish office.
