The synagogue in Heřmanův Městec (German Hermannstädtel ), a Czech town in Okres Chrudim in East Bohemia , was built in the middle of the 18th century. The derelict synagogue has been a protected cultural monument since 1991.

The synagogue was given neo-Romanesque style elements during the renovation in 1870 . The school building behind it was built ten years earlier.

The extensively renovated synagogue building has been used for concerts, weddings and other celebrations since 2001.
