Shah Synagogue in Holešov, Renaissance synagogue in Holešov, Czech Republic

Shah Synagogue is a free-standing two-storey building with a low saddle roof and a plain white-plastered facade. Its main prayer hall lies about a metre below ground level, with a decorated bimah in the centre and the Torah ark at the eastern wall; two openings lead to the women's gallery on the first floor.

A wooden synagogue burned in 1560, and the stone Renaissance synagogue was built soon after; it was enlarged in 1615 with a vestibule and women's gallery. In 1725–1737 a stair corridor was added, the prayer hall vaulted and the interior unified with baroque decoration. After a new synagogue opened in 1893, this building fell into disuse until its 1960s restoration as a museum.

The women's gallery displays an exhibition about Jewish life in Moravia with religious objects and documents that show local communities from their origins through World War II.

The prayer hall floor lies about a metre below the surrounding ground, reached from the side wing with its vestibule, corridor and two staircases. The women's gallery and the former beit midrash above it are reached by a separate steep staircase. Guided tours are arranged by the operator.

The synagogue's wooden ceiling in the former beit midrash, reachable by a steep staircase, carries flower, fruit and animal motifs dated to 1737. The room now holds a study library of Rabbi Šach's books, including a 1663 edition of Siftei Kohen, the oldest volume in the collection.
