Remuch Synagogue

Complete profile

Dating from 1553, this is Kraków's smallest but most active synagogue, with Shabbat services once again taking place here each Friday following the recent completion of restoration works. The synagogue was established by the family of the famous 16th century Polish rabbi Moses Isserles - better known as 'the Rema,' based on a Hebrew acronym, and is unique for the proximity of the Old Jewish Cemetery adjacent to it.

The courtyard for the synagogue was purchased for 8,000 thalers donated by the landowner Tiel-Winckler.

The synagogue was a small, one-story building built in the neo-Romanesque style with a sloping roof and rectangular floor plan. There was arcade decoration in the side elevations. Corner pilasters were one of the characteristic elements. The architect Ignatz Grünfeld was most likely inspired by a synagogue in Wolfhagen. There were 200 seats for men and 120 seats for women.
