Synagogue in Český Krumlov, Romanesque Revival synagogue in Plešivec, Czech Republic.
The synagogue exhibits an eight-sided tower and Romanesque Revival decorations, featuring arched windows and detailed stone elements throughout its exterior structure.
The Jewish community constructed this synagogue in 1909 under architect Victor Kafka's direction, marking the end of centuries-long restrictions on Jewish presence in the city.
The building transformed from a Jewish place of worship to an interconfessional Christian church for American soldiers after 1945, then served the Czechoslovak Hussite Church.
The synagogue now functions as a multifunctional space with conference rooms, exhibition areas, and a café located at the back of the building.
A preserved United States Army symbol remains on the prayer hall wall, documenting the period when American military personnel used this religious structure.
