Michel Synagogue - Michelská synagoga

The Michel Synagogue is a former Jewish house of prayer in Prague-Michle, on the banks of the Botič brook. It is one of the most interesting and most beautiful historical buildings in Prague-Michle and at the same time one of the few suburban synagogues that were not destroyed during the German occupation. From 1950, the Jewish Museum in Prague used the Michel Synagogue as a depository for Torah scrolls that the Nazis had brought to Prague from the destroyed and forcibly closed synagogues of all Jewish communities on the territory of the Protectorate. The sacred building is currently used as a place of worship by the Albert Schweitzer congregation of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church. The building is a listed building.
