Shah Synagogue in Holešov, Renaissance synagogue in Holešov, Czech Republic
The Shah Synagogue features traditional Polish-style religious architecture with detailed baroque decorations throughout its interior spaces dating from the 1730s reconstruction.
Built in 1560, the synagogue takes its name from Rabbi Sabbatai ben Meir ha-Kohen, a prominent 17th-century Jewish scholar who served in this religious center.
The women's gallery presents an exhibition about Jewish life in Moravia, displaying religious objects and documenting local communities from their beginnings through World War II.
Visitors can explore the synagogue through guided tours, with adult admission at 120 CZK, reduced entry at 70 CZK, and family tickets at 280 CZK.
This structure stands as the sole preserved example of Polish-type synagogue architecture in its original form within the Czech Republic's cultural monuments.
