Synagoge Bayreuth, Synagogue in Bayreuth, Germany
The synagogue occupies a baroque building at Münzgasse 2, adjacent to the Margravial Opera House in central Bayreuth.
The Jewish community of Bayreuth originated in 1759 when Margrave Friedrich III permitted several Jewish families to establish a congregation and construct a synagogue.
Moses Seckel purchased the former comedy and redoute house, transforming it into a synagogue that opened on March 15, 1760.
The synagogue includes a mikveh in its garden, installed in 2013, which receives water from an artesian well for ritual purposes.
This building stands as Germany's oldest synagogue that continues to serve its original religious function since the 18th century.
