Židovská synagoga

Finally, I managed to visit the synagogue in. It has been standing here since 1863 and I highly recommend the tour. You will learn many interesting things that the life of the local Jewish community, their customs, look at the house of prayer, the rabbi's apartment, the teacher and the school and descend to the cellar, where the micve is renovated. The tour can be arranged in the information center on the square from where the guide will take you to the place.

Well-preserved, original building with a history that breathes on you. Lady guide excellent.

The Neo-Romanesque synagogue dates from 1862-63 and is one of the few synagogues in western Bohemia that has retained its original appearance. It was built between 1862 and 1863 in a historicist, neo-Romanesque style, and the main builders were Izák Augstein, Eliáš Klauber and Jakub Hutter, members of the Jewish religious community. The synagogue was opened on January 21, 1863, but since 1929 services have been held here only on holidays, most recently in August 1936. During World War I, refugees were housed here. The synagogue survived the Second World War completely unscathed, probably as a warehouse. After the Second World War, from 1947 to 1996, the Czechoslovak Hussite Church used the synagogue for its purposes. The synagogue building currently houses a small museum documenting the history of Kdyně. The Neoromanian synagogue dates back to 1862 - 63 and is one of the few synagogues in western Bohemia that have preserved in their original form. Built between 1862 and 1863 in a historic, neoromanian style, the main builders were Isaac Augstein, Elias Klauber and Jakub Hutter, members of the Jewish religious community. The synagogue was opened on January 21, 1863, but since 1929, worships were held only on holidays, most recently in August 1936. During World War I. refugees were accommodated here. In the Second World War, the synagogue survived without any trouble, apparently as a warehouse. After World War II, from 1947 to 1996, the Czechoslovak Hussite Church used the synagogue for their own purpose. There is currently a small museum documenting the history of Kdyně in the building.

Interesting place recommendable
