history
In the Jewish street , a row of houses on the western wall, stood the old synagogue. It was demolished in the early 1860s and the new synagogue was built on the same site. It was built according to plans by the Viennese architect Franz Macher in the Moorish-Byzantine style.
Today the city museum and the city gallery are housed in the synagogue building. The interior of the synagogue was given to the Jewish Museum in Prague during World War II .
