Synagoge Veitshöchheim und Jüdisches Kulturmuseum, Jewish museum and synagogue in Veitshöchheim, Germany.

The museum complex includes a restored 1730 synagogue, a former Jewish residence, and a new building containing archives and seminar facilities.

The synagogue was converted into a fire station in 1940 before undergoing extensive restoration work during the 1980s to return it to its original state.

The permanent exhibition 'Village Scene' presents three centuries of Jewish life in Franconia through artifacts, documents, and multimedia installations.

The museum opens Wednesday through Sunday from March to October, with guided tours available by appointment at Thüngersheimer Strasse 17.

The synagogue's attic contained a geniza with texts from the 17th to 19th centuries, making it one of the largest collections in German-speaking regions.
