  • Sankt Vitus-katedralen i Praha i Tsjekkia, og setet til Prahas katolske erkebiskop. Katedralens fulle navn er St. Vitus, St. Václav og St. Adalbert katedral (Katedrála svatého Víta, Václava a Vojtěcha). Katedralen er oppført i gotisk stil. Byggingen ble påbegynt på 1500-tallet og etter 585 år med arbeider, fullført i 1920. Kirken befinner seg i Praha slott, og mange av kistene til bøhmiske konger står her. The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslaus and Adalbert, a Roman Catholic metropolitan cathedral in Prague, the seat of the Archbishop of Prague. Until 1997, the cathedral was dedicated only to Saint Vitus, and is still commonly named only as St. Vitus Cathedral.<br />
<br />
A prominent example of Gothic architecture, and is the largest and most important church in the country. Located within Prague Castle and containing the tombs of many Bohemian kings and Holy Roman Emperors, the cathedral is under the ownership of the Czech government as part of the Prague Castle complex.  Cathedral dimensions are 124 by 60 metres, the main tower is 102.8 metres high, front towers 82 metres, arch height 33.2 metres. The current cathedral is the third of a series of religious buildings at the site, all dedicated to St. Vitus. The first church was an early Romanesque rotunda founded by Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia in 930. This patron saint was chosen because Wenceslaus had acquired a holy relic – the arm of St. Vitus – from Emperor Henry I. It is also possible that Wenceslaus, wanting to convert his subjects to Christianity more easily, chose a saint whose name (Svatý Vít in Czech) sounds very much like the name of Slavic solar deity Svantevit.Two religious populations, the increasing Christian and decreasing pagan community, lived simultaneously in Prague castle at least until the 11th century. Construction of the present-day Gothic Cathedral began on 21 November 1344, when the seat of Prague was elevated to an archbishopric. King John of Bohemia laid the fo

  • St Margaret, the patron saint of Telč, watches from her vantage point above the large fountain which was originally built in the 1500’s to supply the townspeople with fresh water from the nearby Nadýmák pond. The oldest fountain on the square is the hexagonal fountain with a stature of St. Margaret, dating from the period after 1535, at which time the town's water supply was built. (Sankt Margaret av Skottland Margaret (født ca. 1045, død 16. november 1093) dronning av Skottland fra ca. 1070 til sin død. Gift med Malcolm III, og grunnla med ham Huset Dunkeld. Margaret ble antagelig født i Reska ved Nádasd i Ungarn, og var den yngste av fire barn. Moren var den tyske prinsessen Agatha av Bulgaria, sannsynligvis en slektning av den tysk-romerske keiser Henrik III eller en datter av Yaroslav I av Kiev. Faren var den engelske prinsen Edward den landflyktige, bror av Edvard Bekjenneren og sønn av Edmund II av England. Edward søkte tilflukt hos Stefan av Ungarn etter at danene tok kontroll over Wessex. Margaret vokste opp ved det ungarske hoffet, hvor hun fikk en god utdannelse. Gjennom hennes innflytelse ble Malcolm forandret fra å være grov og brutal til å bli en av Skottlands mest rettskafne konger. Han lærte aldri å lese, men likte svært godt å se i hennes illuminerte manuskripter. En av hennes bøker, en evangeliebok i lommeformat, er bevart i Bodleian Library i Oxford, mens noen andre bevarte bøker kanskje er hennes. Hittil hadde man snakket gælisk ved det skotske hoffet; Margaret fikk dette erstattet med engelsk. Hun arbeidet også aktivt for å få slutt på messeliturgi som hadde utviklet seg lokalt, og uteblivelse fra nattverden – noen keltiske munker hadde nemlig tatt til seg Paulus' ord om å ta imot nattverden på urett vis i slik grad at de helt hadde sluttet å ta imot den. Hun gjorde mye for å spre den romersk-katolske formen for kristendom i Skottland, hvor den keltiske kirke fortsatt dominerte. Sammen med Malcolm grunnla hun Dunfe

  • Kamenice nad Lipou, ca. 3.800 innbyggere, Høyde over havet: 563 m. Kamenice nad Lipou. (German: Kamnitz an der Linde) a town in Pelhřimov District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 3,700 inhabitants. It lies on the Kamenice river. The historic town centre is well preserved and is protected by law as an urban monument zone. The first written mention of Kamenice is from 1267. It was founded as a settlement below a castle in the early 13th century. In honor of a linden tree planted in the castle garden in 1248, the settlement added nad Lipou (meaning "above a linden tree") into its name.<br />
<br />
Kamenice nad Lipou regularly changed its owners, who belonged more to the lower nobles. Notable was the rule of Jan of Šelmberk in 1476–1497, during which Kamenice obtained various rights and privileges, and the Malovec family, which had the Gothic castle rebuilt in the Renaissance style in 1580–1583. In 1623, the manor was bought by the family of Paradies of Escheide, which owned it for 70 years and oppressed the inhabitants and deprived the town of its privileges.<br />
<br />
The town economically prospered in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the first half of the 18th century, silver and iron ores were mined and subsequently hammer mills were founded. In 1839, a wool classing workshop was set up in one of the castle's wings. In 1875, glassworks replaced the hammer mills. In 1906, the narrow-gauge railway ws built. Kamenice nad Lipou lies on a narrow-gauge railway leading from Jindřichův Hradec to Obrataň. It is operated by Jindřichohradecké místní dráhy company. It serves mostly as a tourist attraction. The most notable sight is the Kamenice nad Lipou Castle. Its current appearance is from 1842, when it was rebuilt in the Neoclassical style. Today it is owned by the Museum of Applied Arts in Prague, which has a depository here, and an exhibition for the public. The southern wing serves as the town museum. The castle includes an English park. The 700–8

In 1366, the House of Rožmberk/Rosenberg became owner of the estate. The period of greatest growth for the town dates to the second half of the 15th century when Petr IV of Rožmberk (cs) (1462–1523) seriously began to take care of the land. The district became famous as a fish pond farming area. From 1611 the Houses of Habsburg and Schwarzenberg were owners of the town and the estate. Until 1918, TŘEBOŇ - WITTINGAU (WITTINGAU until the end of the 19th century) was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the district with the same name, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.

  • Telč (tysk: Teltsch) er en by i Tsjekkia. Gamlebyen ble i 1992 oppført på UNESCOs verdensarvliste. Byen ligger ved foten av de Böhmisk-Mähriske høylandene omgitt av sjøer og ved utløpet av elven Telčský potok hvor denne renner ut i Taya. Bygningene i Telc som ligger på en høyde i landskapet, var opprinnelig oppført i tre.[2] Etter en brann sent på 1300-tallet, ble byen gjenoppført i steinmateriale og ytterligere vernet mot brann ved at den ble omgitt av kunstige sjøer. Stedets gotiske slott ble gjenreist i høygotisk stil sent på 1400-tallet. Unesco:  Historic Centre of Telč. The houses in Telc, which stands on a hilltop, were originally built of wood. After a fire in the late 14th century, the town was rebuilt in stone, surrounded by walls and further strengthened by a network of artificial ponds. The town's Gothic castle was reconstructed in High Gothic style in the late 15th century. <br />
Outstanding Universal Value. <br />
The town of Telč is located near the southwestern border between Moravia and Bohemia, in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It is situated in a region which was thickly forested until the 13th century. The property consists of the historic town centre, with the castle situated in the middle, and of two bodies of water, originally having a defensive function. <br />
The origins of the settlement are unclear: there was an early medieval settlement at Staré Město to the south-east of the present town, but there is no mention of Telč in documentary records before 1333-1335, when reference is made to the existence there of an important castle (and presumably also a church and settlement). The town of Telč, whose area covers 36 ha, was probably founded in the mid 14th century. The town itself is of special importance since it was founded on purpose to gain political and economic control over an area where there were deep forests in the 13th and 14th centuries. <br />

  • St Margaret, the patron saint of Telč, watches from her vantage point above the large fountain which was originally built in the 1500’s to supply the townspeople with fresh water from the nearby Nadýmák pond. The oldest fountain on the square is the hexagonal fountain with a stature of St. Margaret, dating from the period after 1535, at which time the town's water supply was built. (Sankt Margaret av Skottland Margaret (født ca. 1045, død 16. november 1093) dronning av Skottland fra ca. 1070 til sin død. Gift med Malcolm III, og grunnla med ham Huset Dunkeld. Margaret ble antagelig født i Reska ved Nádasd i Ungarn, og var den yngste av fire barn. Moren var den tyske prinsessen Agatha av Bulgaria, sannsynligvis en slektning av den tysk-romerske keiser Henrik III eller en datter av Yaroslav I av Kiev. Faren var den engelske prinsen Edward den landflyktige, bror av Edvard Bekjenneren og sønn av Edmund II av England. Edward søkte tilflukt hos Stefan av Ungarn etter at danene tok kontroll over Wessex. Margaret vokste opp ved det ungarske hoffet, hvor hun fikk en god utdannelse. Gjennom hennes innflytelse ble Malcolm forandret fra å være grov og brutal til å bli en av Skottlands mest rettskafne konger. Han lærte aldri å lese, men likte svært godt å se i hennes illuminerte manuskripter. En av hennes bøker, en evangeliebok i lommeformat, er bevart i Bodleian Library i Oxford, mens noen andre bevarte bøker kanskje er hennes. Hittil hadde man snakket gælisk ved det skotske hoffet; Margaret fikk dette erstattet med engelsk. Hun arbeidet også aktivt for å få slutt på messeliturgi som hadde utviklet seg lokalt, og uteblivelse fra nattverden – noen keltiske munker hadde nemlig tatt til seg Paulus' ord om å ta imot nattverden på urett vis i slik grad at de helt hadde sluttet å ta imot den. Hun gjorde mye for å spre den romersk-katolske formen for kristendom i Skottland, hvor den keltiske kirke fortsatt dominerte. Sammen med Malcolm grunnla hun Dunfe

  • Telč (tysk: Teltsch) er en by i Tsjekkia. Gamlebyen ble i 1992 oppført på UNESCOs verdensarvliste. Byen ligger ved foten av de Böhmisk-Mähriske høylandene omgitt av sjøer og ved utløpet av elven Telčský potok hvor denne renner ut i Taya. Bygningene i Telc som ligger på en høyde i landskapet, var opprinnelig oppført i tre.[2] Etter en brann sent på 1300-tallet, ble byen gjenoppført i steinmateriale og ytterligere vernet mot brann ved at den ble omgitt av kunstige sjøer. Stedets gotiske slott ble gjenreist i høygotisk stil sent på 1400-tallet. Unesco:  Historic Centre of Telč. The houses in Telc, which stands on a hilltop, were originally built of wood. After a fire in the late 14th century, the town was rebuilt in stone, surrounded by walls and further strengthened by a network of artificial ponds. The town's Gothic castle was reconstructed in High Gothic style in the late 15th century. <br />
Outstanding Universal Value. <br />
The town of Telč is located near the southwestern border between Moravia and Bohemia, in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It is situated in a region which was thickly forested until the 13th century. The property consists of the historic town centre, with the castle situated in the middle, and of two bodies of water, originally having a defensive function. <br />
The origins of the settlement are unclear: there was an early medieval settlement at Staré Město to the south-east of the present town, but there is no mention of Telč in documentary records before 1333-1335, when reference is made to the existence there of an important castle (and presumably also a church and settlement). The town of Telč, whose area covers 36 ha, was probably founded in the mid 14th century. The town itself is of special importance since it was founded on purpose to gain political and economic control over an area where there were deep forests in the 13th and 14th centuries. <br />

Vang stavkirke, på polsk Kościół Górski Naszego Zbawiciela («Vår Frelsers fjellkirke»), Świątynia Wang («Vang tempel») eller Kościół Wang («Vang kirke»), og på tysk Kirche Wang, er en rekonstruksjon med gjenbruk av materialer fra den gamle stavkirken fra Vang i Valdres. Den står i dag i Karpacz i Karkonosze, som er en del av landskapet Schlesien i Polen.<br />
<br />
Stedet der stavkirken opprinnelig stod på Vang, er merket med en liten skiferstein inne på kirkegården, rett ved siden av trappen til sognets nye kirke fra 1840. Dette er også stedet der den kjente Vangsteinen, en runestein fra 1000-tallet, opprinnelig stod. Kirken ble reist i det 12. og 13. århundre, og senere flyttet til og gjenreist i provinsen Schlesien i kongeriket Preussen i 1842.<br />
<br />
Vang kirke er fortsatt i daglig bruk av stedets lutherske menighet, og den er blitt en viktig turistattraksjon for området. I 1832 bestemte det lokale herredsstyret at stavkirken måtte rives, siden den var med tiden blitt for liten og noe falleferdig. Planene om å rive kirken og bygge en ny var kjent allerede i 1826, da maleren J. C. Dahl gjorde et første redningsforsøk. Han skrev senere:<br />

<br />
Det ble også gjort et forsøk på å få kirken gjenreist på Heensåsen som annekskirke. Knut Nordsveen, en lokal gårdbruker, tilbød gratis tomt til kirken, men tilbudet ble avslått. I skuffelsen over å ha mislyktes med å få kirken flyttet solgte han gården sin og emigrerte til Amerika. I 1932 ble et monument reist til minne om ham. Under en ny Norgesreise i 1839 kom J. C.

  • Vang stavkirke ligger i turistbyen Karpacz [ˈkarpat͡ʂ] (tysk: Krummhübel). Karpacz (tysk Krummhübel) er et kur- og skisportssted i sørvestlige Polen, innenfor fjellene Karkonosze. Byen ligger 480-885 meter over havet. Sør for Karpacz på grensen til Tsjekkia ligger fjellet Śnieżka. Vel 5.000 innbyggere. I byen ligger også en norsk stavkirke, som ble flyttet hit fra Vang i Valdres. Vang stavkirke var bygget på begynnelsen av 1100-tallet. Når den var blitt for liten og trengte kostbar renovering ble den solgt til Kong Frederik Vilhelm IV av Preussen og fraktet til Karpacz.<br />
<br />
Den ble innviet 28. juli 1844. A spa town and ski resort in Jelenia Góra County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, south-western Poland, and one of the most important centres for mountain hiking and skiing, including ski jumping. Its population is about 4,500. Karpacz is situated in the Karkonosze Mountains – a resort with increasing importance for tourism as an alternative to the Alps.<br />
<br />
Karpacz is located at 480 to 885 metres above sea level. South of Karpacz on the border to the Czech Republic there is Mount Sněžka-Śnieżka (1,602 m. Since 2020, the town has been hosting the annual international Economic Forum. The first settlements in the area of Karpacz are noted by the official website of the city as being of probable Celtic origin and date to the 4th or 3rd century BC[3] when they inhabited the region as part of gold-digging taking place in the area. The area was part of medieval Poland, after the establishment of the state in the 10th century. In the early 12th century the area was generally uninhabited, as mentioned in the oldest Polish chronicle Gesta principum Polonorum. First mention of permanent location of the town is dated to the beginning of 15th century, and connected to the destruction of a village called Broniów, whose inhabitants moved to settle the area currently located at the altitude of the town's railway station.<br />

  • Den tidligere eieren av slottet Kámen Castle, ble jaget bort i kommunisttiden. In the region where South Bohemia meets Vysočina, you will find Kámen Castle. The originally Gothic castle was built in mid-13th century on a large rock, from which it got its name. This originally Gothic castle from the 13th century was named after a large rock (in Czech kámen) that overlooks the surrounding area. For almost two hundred years, it was a royal feud castle and then for another two hundred years, it was occupied by one of the branches of the Bohemian Malovec family. The first written evidence of the castle comes from 1316. Its owner at that time was Nimír von Kamen. In 1328 Johann von Luxemburg enfeoffed Bušek Tluksa with the castle. His son Přibík Tluksa, who had inherited Kámen together with his brothers, sold the rule to Heinrich von Ziegelheim in 1356. He had the palace rebuilt between 1356 and 1366. Gold mining began in the Stein rule under Heinrich von Ziegelheim. After Ziegelheim surrendered the Stein rule, it returned to the Lords of Tluksa. They supported King Wenceslas in the power struggles for the Bohemian crown. After Jan Tluksa's death in 1418, his cousin Přibík Tluksa inherited the property. During the Hussite Wars he made Kámen an important base for the insurgents between the Hussite centers of Tábor and Pelhřimov . His son Hynek Tluksa sold the rule of Kámen in 1437 with all accessories to Purkart Kamarét of Žirovnice. During the renewed power struggles in Bohemia, he was one of the supporters of the provincial administrator Georg von Podiebrad . On August 4, 1450, a meeting between Georg von Podiebrad and the leader of the Strakonitz Alliance, Heinrich IV von Rosenberg , took place at the castle . In 1456 Purkart Kamarét sold the Kámen estate to the Trčka brothers from Lípa on Pelhřimov.

In the region where South Bohemia meets Vysočina, you will find Kámen Castle. The originally Gothic castle was built in mid-13th century on a large rock, from which it got its name. This originally Gothic castle from the 13th century was named after a large rock (in Czech kámen) that overlooks the surrounding area. For almost two hundred years, it was a royal feud castle and then for another two hundred years, it was occupied by one of the branches of the Bohemian Malovec family. The first written evidence of the castle comes from 1316. Its owner at that time was Nimír von Kamen. In 1328 Johann von Luxemburg enfeoffed Bušek Tluksa with the castle. His son Přibík Tluksa, who had inherited Kámen together with his brothers, sold the rule to Heinrich von Ziegelheim in 1356. He had the palace rebuilt between 1356 and 1366. Gold mining began in the Stein rule under Heinrich von Ziegelheim. After Ziegelheim surrendered the Stein rule, it returned to the Lords of Tluksa. They supported King Wenceslas in the power struggles for the Bohemian crown. After Jan Tluksa's death in 1418, his cousin Přibík Tluksa inherited the property. During the Hussite Wars he made Kámen an important base for the insurgents between the Hussite centers of Tábor and Pelhřimov . His son Hynek Tluksa sold the rule of Kámen in 1437 with all accessories to Purkart Kamarét of Žirovnice. During the renewed power struggles in Bohemia, he was one of the supporters of the provincial administrator Georg von Podiebrad .

  • Among the most valuable landmarks in Třebíč’s Jewish Quarter is without question the Rear, or New, Synagogue.<br />
The old Třebíč Jewish Quarter is unique as a whole. However, within it visitors will find several stunning sights deserving of a tour of their own. Among them is unquestionably the Rear Synagogue, which is also known as the New School, the Upper Prayer Hall and the New Synagogue. Dating from 1669, this Renaissance synagogue is the highlight of the Jewish Quarters with its beautifully restored frescoes and a wonderful historical model of the ghetto as it appeared in the mid-19th century. The Jewish Quarter of Třebíč is one of the best preserved Jewish ghettos in Europe. Therefore it was listed in 2003 (together with the Jewish Cemetery and the St. Procopius Basilica in Třebíč) in the UNESCO World Heritage List and it is the only Jewish monument outside Israel specifically placed on the List. <br />
The Jewish Quarter is by the River Jihlava. There are 123 houses, two synagogues and a Jewish cemetery. <br />
All original Jewish inhabitants (in 1890 there lived nearly 1,500 Jews, but in the 1930s only 300 of them were Jewish) were deported and murdered in concentration camps by Nazis during the World War II. Only ten of them came back after the war. Therefore many buildings of the Jewish town (e. g. the town hall, rabbi's office, hospital, poorhouse or school) do not serve their original purpose any more and the houses are now owned by people of non-Jewish faith.

  • Telč is a town in southern Moravia, near Jihlava, in the Czech Republic.  The Gothic castle of Telč was built in the second half of the 14th century by the lords of Hradec. At the end of the 15th century the castle fortifications were strengthened and a new gate-tower built. In the middle of the 16th century the medieval castle no longer satisfied Renaissance nobleman Zachariáš of Hradec, who had the castle altered in the Renaissance style. The ground floor was vaulted anew, the façade decorated with sgraffito, and the state apartments and living quarters received stucco ornamentation together with trompe l'oeil and chiaroscuro paintings in 1553. The counter-reformation brought the Jesuits to the town, who built the church of Name of Jesus in 1666-1667, according to the plans of Domenico Orsi. The column of the Virgin and the fountain in the centre of the square date from the 18th century. The town was founded in the 13th century as a royal water fort on the crossroads of busy merchant routes between Bohemia, Moravia and Austria. <br />
The most significant sight is the town square, a unique complex of long urban plaza with well-conserved Renaissance and Baroque houses with high gables and arcades; since 1992 all of this has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Renaissance market place. Its triangular market place possesses great beauty and harmony as well as great cultural importance, surrounded as it is by intact and well-preserved Renaissance buildings with a dazzling variety of facades. The town is located near the south-western border between Moravia and Bohemia, Vysocina Region. The houses in the market place, with facades from various periods, are basically Renaissance and conform to a standard plan. In 1979 Werner Herzog filmed the movie Woyzeck in Telč.  The extensive castle complex in Telč is a real pearl of Moravian Renaissance architecture. Since 1992, along with the historic city center, it has been registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

  • Olšany Cemeteries (Olšanské hřbitovy) is the largest graveyard in Prague, Czech Republic, and it is very quiet and very green and beautiful. Once laid out for as many as two million burials. The graveyard is particularly noted for its many remarkable art nouveau monuments. The Olšany Cemeteries were created in 1680 to accommodate plague victims who died en masse in Prague and needed to be buried quickly. In 1787, when the plague again struck the city, Emperor Joseph II banned the burial of bodies within Prague city limits and Olšany Cemeteries were declared the central graveyard for hygiene purposes.<br />
<br />
The Olšany necropolis consists of twelve cemeteries, including an Orthodox and a tiny Muslim section, the largest Jewish cemetery in the Czech Republic and military burial grounds. Among the thousands of military personnel buried at Olšany, there are Russian soldiers and officers from the Napoleonic Wars, members of the Czechoslovak Legion, Czechoslovak soldiers, officers and pilots who fought at the Eastern and Western Front and in North Africa during the Second World War as well as male and female members of the Soviet and Commonwealth (including British, Canadian, South African, Greek and Turkish Cypriot and Polish) armed forces who died for the freedom of Czechoslovakia in 1944–1945, including POWs. Based on a bilateral agreement, Czech authorities are responsible for the protection of Russian and Soviet military graves at the Czech territory (as the Russian Federation is responsible for protecting Czechoslovak war graves from both World Wars in Russia). The Commonwealth Prague War Cemetery, including 256 graves, was established under the terms of the 1949 War Graves Agreement between the UK and Czechoslovakia and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. <br />

Based on a bilateral agreement, Czech authorities are responsible for the protection of Russian and Soviet military graves at the Czech territory (as the Russian Federation is responsible for protecting Czechoslovak war graves from both World Wars in Russia). The Commonwealth Prague War Cemetery, including 256 graves, was established under the terms of the 1949 War Graves Agreement between the UK and Czechoslovakia and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. <br />

  • The Spanish Synagogue, den spanske synagogen, in Dusni street, the newest synagogue in the area of the so-called Jewish Town, yet paradoxically, it was built at the place of the presumably oldest synagogue, Old School (also known as Altshul). The synagogue is built in Moorish Revival Style. Only a little park with a modern statue of famous Prague writer Franz Kafka (by Jaroslav Róna) lies between it and the church of St Spirit. Today, the Spanish Synagogue is administered by the Jewish Museum in Prague. The Spanish Synagogue is not the first synagogue at the site. Before it there stood probably the oldest synagogue in Prague, Old School. In the second half of 19th century, capacity of the Old School did not suffice. The Reform Jewish Community, which used it by the time, therefore decided to demolish the synagogue in 1867 and one year later it was replaced by the new, Spanish Synagogue. Its name presumably refers to the style in which it was built, Moorish Revival style, which was inspired by the art of Arabic period of Spanish history (this name was not always prevalent, in the beginnings it was usually called by German-speaking Jews Geistgasse-Tempel, i.e. Temple in Spirit Street). The architectural plans were designed by Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann and Josef Niklas. <br />
In 1935, a functionalistic building, designed by Karel Pecánek, was added to the synagogue. Till the Second World War it served to the Jewish Community as a hospital. The synagogue used the space of the new building as well; there was a vestibule and a winter oratory in it. Since 1935, the appearance of the synagogue remained essentially unchanged. <br />
During the Second World War, confiscated properties of Czech Jewish Communities were stored in the synagogue. Ten years after the war, the synagogue was handed over to Jewish Museum and in 1958–1959 it was completely reconstructed inside. In the following year an exposition of synagogue textiles was opened there. Since the 1970s the building was neglected
