Synagogue in Hradec Králové, Religious monument in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic.
Description
The Synagogue in Hradec Králové is a religious building distinguished by symbolic conic pilasters that rise toward its dome and decorative palm motifs on the northeastern wall. Located at Československé armády 395, it continues to serve as an active place of worship for the local community.
History
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.
Culture
The prayer hall served as the spiritual and social center for the local Jewish community, where members gathered for religious services and celebrations. The religious objects and prayer books within reflect the traditions and everyday devotions of those who worshipped there.
Practical
The building welcomes visitors and maintains regular opening hours as an active religious center for the community. Check local conditions before your visit, as it remains primarily a functioning place of worship.
Did you know?
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.
