Synagogue in Bubny, Synagogue in Holešovice, Czech Republic

The Synagogue in Bubny is a former Jewish prayer house built in 1899 in neo-Renaissance style, measuring 11 by 13 metres, in the courtyard of a residential building at Heřmanova 719/25 in Holešovice. Its flat roof sits about 7.3 metres high, the extra 30 centimetres granted so the building could hold a women's gallery.

This prayer house opened in 1899 and served the Jewish residents of the district for decades to come. Its story became intertwined with the fate of this community, which would face drastic changes in the middle of the twentieth century.

This prayer house served as a gathering place for Jewish residents of the neighborhood who came to worship and celebrate their holidays together. It reflected the life of a community that had made this district their home and maintained their religious practices.

The building sits on Heřmanova Street within a residential block and is easy to overlook from the street. To visit this location, it helps to know the exact address, since the structure is not visible from the sidewalk.

The building's approved height was a compromise: the city allowed only 7 metres, but owner Eduard Fanta argued that a women's gallery was required, winning an extra 30 centimetres and a flat roof. The last bar mitzvah recorded here was that of Arno Buxbaum on 26 April 1941; he was later deported to Terezín and Riga and never returned.
