Synagogue

The Temple Synagogue is located on a corner plot on the corner of Miodowa and Podbrzezie streets. The building was constructed in 1860–1862 and is in the eclectic neo-Renaissance style with Moorish elements. On the richly decorated façade above the main entrance are black marble plaques with the Ten Commandments. On the façade and the side walls are two-part arcade windows with unique colorful stained glass from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The wall paintings with plant motifs have an oriental character.

The Kupa Synagogue, also known as the Synagogue of the Poor, is located in the historic Krakow district Kazimierz The simple synagogue from 1643 with baroque accents is located in the district that was reserved exclusively for the Jewish community from Krakow by King John I Albrecht in 1495. The synagogue was built from donations to the Jewish community (Kahal). Its name is derived from kupat, the Hebrew word for community treasury.

The Kupa Synagogue was destroyed by the Nazis during the Second World War and used for secular purposes until 1991.

The new synagogue in Moorish-Byzantine style was built in 1863/1864 on the same site as the synagogue on Judengasse (Häuserzeile on the western city wall), which was demolished at the beginning of 1860, and consecrated in 1864. After the deportation of the last remaining Jewish inhabitants of Mährisch Weißkirchen to concentration and extermination camps in 1942, the interior of the synagogue was donated to the Central Jewish Museum in Prague. The synagogue building itself was preserved and has been a protected cultural monument since 1988.

The Jewish Temple Königliche Weinberge stood in Sázavská in Prague-Vinohrady from 1896 to 1951. The building was hit by bombs during an accidental Allied air raid on Prague on February 14, 1945. American bombers mistook Prague for Dresden. However, the extent of the damage to the synagogue was largely due to the German occupying forces, who prevented the fire from being extinguished.

The synagogue was built in 1849. After 1930, it served as a Jewish orphanage and was eventually converted into an apartment building.

The synagogue in Uhříněves is a former Jewish house of prayer and is located on Přátelství-Straße. It was built between 1847 and 1848 in the late classicist style to replace an older wooden house of prayer. Services were held in the synagogue until 1939.

After the Second World War, the city of Uhříněves took over the synagogue building and initially used it as a warehouse from 1949 onwards.

A conversion into a laundry took place at a later date.

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 foundation stone for the construction of the New Libeň Synagogue was laid on November 23, 1846 in the presence of Archduke Stephan, Governor of Böhmen and Palatine of Hungary. The construction took twelve long years. The building was erected in the Romanesque-antique style of the Maxentius Basilica, with a neo-Romanesque interior with oriental elements, in keeping with the romantic historicism that was fashionable at the time. An avenue of low trees led from the entrance gate to the entrance. The building itself is made of brick, monolithic, two-storey and closed with a gabled roof.

The neo-Gothic synagogue, completed in 1863, was rebuilt in 1931 in a functionalist style. After the Second World War, the building was used for secular purposes, as the Jewish community in Sm&nbspute;chov ceased to exist during the Shoah. Since 1998, the building has served as the archive of the Jewish Museum in Prague (Židovské muzeum v Praze).
