Synagogue in Nová Cerekev, Synagogue in Nová Cerekev, Czech Republic

The Synagogue in Nová Cerekev is a former Jewish house of worship on the lane running east from the municipal office toward the Obecní rybník pond. Built in 1855 in an Orientalising style on the site of an earlier wooden synagogue, it has a five-sided apse and a wooden Torah ark, with a remnant of the ark and the Ten Commandments above it still preserved.

A smaller synagogue of unknown date stood on the site before the current building, which was erected in 1855 in an Orientalising style with a five-sided apse and a wooden Torah ark. From 1964 it was used as a warehouse; the Prague Jewish Community has owned it since 1998 and had it fully renovated in 2013/14.

The building's Moorish-style form, with a five-sided apse and a wooden Torah ark, dates from its 1855 reconstruction on the site of an earlier wooden synagogue. Since 2013/14 the renovated interior has housed a permanent exhibition on synagogue architecture in the Bohemian lands.

The synagogue stands on the street running east from the municipal office toward the Obecní rybník pond. It was fully renovated in 2013/14 and now houses a permanent exhibition on synagogue architecture in the Bohemian lands. Visits are tied to that exhibition; the building is owned by the Prague Jewish community.

The wooden Torah ark inside is a rare survivor, and above it a fragment of the Ten Commandments decoration remains. The building was used as a warehouse from 1964 until the 1980s, which is why so little of the original interior survived.
