Jewish town hall in Kroměřiž

The Jewish town hall stands as a preserved structure within the former Jewish quarter of Kroměříž, representing traditional administrative architecture.

The building dates back to the period when Kroměříž's Jewish community flourished under the protection of the Bishop of Olomouc in 1322.

The town hall served as the administrative center for the Jewish community, managing their affairs independently until their integration into the main town in 1851.

The structure remains an important stop for visitors exploring the Jewish heritage trail through Kroměříž's historic center.

Before World War II, this building witnessed the governance of a community that made up 12 percent of Kroměříž's total population.
