Former Synagogue in Kutná Hora, Former synagogue in Kutná Hora, Czech Republic

The Former Synagogue in Kutná Hora is a cultural monument built in 1902 with Art Nouveau decorative elements. The building has largely lost its original ornamental details and appears simpler today than when it was first constructed.

The older synagogue on Radnická Street was converted from a farm building in 1881 and disappeared in the 1940s. The new synagogue was built in 1902 in Art Nouveau style to a design by Bohuslav Moravec, opposite the Jesuit College. It served for worship until World War II, was later used by a local organ firm, and was bought by the Czechoslovak Hussite Church in 1949.

The building has served the Czechoslovak Hussite Church since 1949, and a columbarium was installed in 1956. Since June 2015 a permanent exhibition on 15 panels traces the Jews of Kutná Hora from the Middle Ages through emancipation to the community's destruction in the Holocaust. Notable figures include poet Jiří Orten and architect František Zelenka.

The former synagogue stands at Smíškova 619, opposite the Jesuit College. It opens during Hussite church services, and from May to October a permanent exhibition on the history of Kutná Hora's Jews is open to the public on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10 to 16.

The building's original furnishings survive in part: the floor tiles, doors, brass handles and fittings, the benches still used in the main prayer hall, the chandeliers and the parapet of the women's gallery. A small statue of Jan Roháč of Dubá, lent by the Kutná Hora Museum, stands at the front right pillar.
