Synagogue (stupava)
The synagogue in Stupava , a Slovak town in the Malacky district , was built in 1803.
architecture
The rectangular building with massive walls has simple baroque windows and a gable roof . Access to the women's gallery was via an outer staircase attached diagonally to the west wall.
The interior consists of the almost square main hall (the men's prayer room) as well as the vestibule and study rooms in the west . Above is the women's gallery.
Only the niche of the Torah shrine can be seen.
The platform of the Bima is still preserved. It stood in the middle of the hall, at the corners of which four pillars support the vault. This divides the ceiling into nine fields. This style of the so-called nine-field synagogue first appeared in the Great Maharscha Synagogue in Ostroh and the Great Suburban Synagogue in Lviv . The pillars are decorated with beautiful ornaments.
In Slovakia today there is only the Old Synagogue in Bardejov , which has this style.
The synagogue building on Hlavná Street was renovated from 2008 and is intended to be used for cultural purposes.
