Synagogue (Kolinec)

A supermarket now stands on the site of the former synagogue

The synagogue in Kolinec (German Kolinetz, also Kollinetz), Okres Klatovy district , Plzeňský kraj region , Czech Republic , was built at the turn of the 18th to the 19th century (according to some sources not until 1837) and existed until 1931. The property was already Acquired in 1793. The building in the Rococo-Classicist style with a mansard-like roof stood in the middle of the ghetto in the so-called “Judenhof”. The synagogue had no gallery for women; the rooms for men and women were separated by an iron grating. After 1919 the synagogue was no longer used. It burned down completely in 1931 and was demolished shortly afterwards.
