Synagoge, Religious building in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic.
The synagogue stood in the northern part of Malá Hradební Street with an eclectic design that blended oriental details into its structure. Inside, it featured a women's gallery and housed a Rieger organ for the congregation.
The building was constructed in 1880 following architect Alwin Köhler's design to serve the Jewish community. Though it survived Kristallnacht, it was destroyed by fire on New Year's Eve 1938.
The building served as a gathering place where the Jewish community came together for worship and religious celebrations. The Rieger organ made the space particularly suited for musical devotions.
The original location has been replaced by a shopping center that was built in 2009 near the city center. Today the site is difficult for visitors to access, as it now houses a modern commercial building.
After the 1938 fire, only the ground floor and outer walls remained standing, which a butcher company later purchased. The ruins were then repurposed as a training facility for the business.
