Myslkovice Jewish Quarter
The not very well developed Jewish quarter (or ghetto) in Myslkovice (German: Miskowitz), a small community in the Okres Tábor district in the Jihočeský kraj region of South Bohemia , was formed roughly with the formation of the Jewish community in Myslkovice, i.e. at the end of the 17th century . The ghetto was first around the village pond, later, as the Jewish population grew, west of the pond in the western part of the village, which was nicknamed "Židovna" (roughly "Jewish quarter"). The synagogue was to the north of the pond and the hospital to the south. In total, the Jewish ghetto consisted of around 40 houses, some of which have been rebuilt and can still be found today. The Jewish school was mentioned as early as 1730 and around 1850. In the ghetto there was also a ritual bath, the mikvah .
