Bývalá synagoga Třešť

In the remarkable building, the exhibition is more modest, but definitely interesting in terms of content (Kafka and Třešť, the fates of local Jewish families - in addition, processed by local students based on the memories of witnesses). The staff of the information center, where it is necessary to go, were fine and accommodated in everything. And I see this as another plus - open on Saturday afternoon and well equipped.

The Třešť Synagogue is remarkable for its architecture. It dates back to 1693, but its present appearance comes from a rebuilding after a fire in 1824. The Baroque building was modified in the Empire style with arcades. Today it is used by the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, but you can visit it and see the exhibition The Footprints. You must contact the Information Center.

Inside the synagogue there are plates with the names of the victims of the Holocaust and the stories of the disappearing Jewish families.
