JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. MIKULOV SYNAGOGUE. MIKULOV/CZECH REPUBLIC
Mikulov Synagogue
Address: Husova 7. Mikulov.
The core of the only preserved Synagogue of the Polish type in Moravia dates from mid 16th century. Its shape was mainly changed by the fundamental reconstruction in the Baroque style after the fire of 1719, when the Synagogue acquired its presente appearance. The reconstruction was designed by the Dietrichstein architect J. Ch. Oedtl, who also managed reconstruction of the chateau.
The last adaptations in 19th century only affected details, mainly the windows. Following a costly and long-term reconstruction the Synagogue was made accessible to the public in early 1990s. At presente the Regional Museum has installed an exhibition entitled Rabbi Löw and Jewish Education in Moravia.
The Synagogue underwent general renovation in 1977-89 as a veneu for cultural events. Cultural monument.
Shalom! Aleichem.
