Shah Synagogue in Holešov, Renaissance synagogue in Holešov, Czech Republic
Shah Synagogue is a prayer house with Renaissance elements that received baroque decorations during a major transformation in the 1730s. The interior displays carefully crafted details that reflect the spatial layout and religious purpose of the building.
The building was founded in 1560 and named after Rabbi Sabbatai ben Meir ha-Kohen, a prominent Jewish scholar of the 17th century who served at this religious center. The transformation in the 1730s gave it the appearance we see today.
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 site is best explored through a guided visit, with information materials available on location. Plan enough time to view the exhibition in the women's gallery completely.
This building preserves the only surviving example of Polish synagogue architecture in its original form among Czech cultural monuments. This rare preservation makes the building valuable for understanding Jewish architectural heritage across Central Europe.
