Presov – Jewish Museum

The Orthodox synagogue, built in 1898 by the building firm Kollacsek and Wirth, is a three-storey building without towers. The relatively austere neo-Roman-Moorish façades cover literally a treasure of synagogue architecture. The richly decorated interiors with a fully preserved inventory are among the most attractive Jewish memorials in Slovakia. The building is still today used as a house of prayer. In the women’s gallery there is installed the Barkány collection of Judaica – an exhibition of the Museum of Jewish Culture. The synagogue is a component of a valuable complex of Jewish communal institutions (a house of prayer, a Jewish school, a rabbinate, a ritual slaughter house) which since the 1880’s the Orthodox community has built outside the city walls.
