history
After a major fire in the city that destroyed the entire Jewish ghetto with the synagogue, the Jewish community in Triesch had a new synagogue built in the Empire style, which was inaugurated in September 1825.
Today the former synagogue building serves as a meeting place for the Czech Hussite Church . Two exhibitions can be seen in the extensively restored building: a documentation on the history of the Jewish community of Triesch and the Franz Kafka exhibition in Třešť .
