Synagogue in Hradec Králové, Former synagogue in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic

The Synagogue in Hradec Králové is a two-winged corner building with a basement, ground floor and three upper floors, its wings meeting at an obtuse angle. Its exterior is in the Art Nouveau style of the period with Moorish inspiration. A brass memorial plaque with a Star of David and the inscription "Here served his God the people of the Jewish community" is set in the ground floor.

Built between 1904 and 1905 according to designs by architect Václav Weinzettl, the building was consecrated to serve a Jewish community of around 300 members. It endured World War II and was briefly used as storage space before becoming part of a state library in 1968.

The building no longer serves as a prayer house; since 2008 the State Scientific Library has vacated it and it belongs to the Jewish Community of Prague, which plans multifunctional use. A brass plaque with the Star of David on the ground floor reads "Here served his God the people of the Jewish community".

The former synagogue is not an active place of worship; since 2008 the building has no longer housed the State Scientific Library, which moved to a new library and information centre. The building was returned to the Jewish Community in Prague in 2007, which intends to use it for multiple purposes. The brass memorial plaque with the Star of David is on the ground floor.

The building survived World War II despite the challenging circumstances for Jewish institutions in the region. Its later conversion to part of a research library represents an unusual second life for a religious monument.
