Synagogue in Mikulov, Baroque synagogue in Mikulov, Czech Republic.
The Synagogue in Mikulov features four Corinthian columns in the prayer hall, connected by semi-circular arcades and cross-vaulting that define its interior space. The building displays typical Baroque elements arranged to create a sense of vertical lift and light through its stone structure.
The building was originally constructed in 1550 in Renaissance style, then rebuilt in Baroque form after a fire destroyed it in 1719. This transformation shaped the structure visitors see today.
