High Synagogue, Renaissance synagogue in Josefov Quarter, Prague, Czech Republic.
The High Synagogue occupies the first floor of the Jewish Town Hall, featuring Renaissance architecture with Gothic ribbed vault ceilings and large windows.
Built in 1568 by architect Pankratius Roder, the synagogue received funding from Mordechai Maisel, who held the position of Mayor of Prague Jewish Town.
The synagogue functioned as a private prayer hall for Jewish councillors and provided space for meetings of the Jewish council of elders.
Located at Maiselova 18 in Prague's Jewish Quarter, the synagogue continues to serve the local Jewish community for religious ceremonies and weddings.
The entrance to this synagogue is accessed through the adjacent Jewish Town Hall building, a distinctive design feature that inspired its name.
