New Synagogue in Libeň, Romanesque Revival synagogue in Libeň, Czech Republic

The New Synagogue features a rectangular ground plan with a saddle roof, supported by five large pillars and upper balcony arcades inside.

Constructed in 1846 after severe flooding damaged the previous synagogue, the foundation stone was laid during a ceremony attended by Archduke Štěpán.

The sanctuary includes an elevated Bimah for Torah readings and a wooden tabernacle, with decorations referencing the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem.

Located at Na žertvách street in Prague's northern district, the synagogue maintains regular activities and welcomes visitors for religious services.
