Neological synagogue in Eger

Neological synagogue in Eger, Religious building in Eger, Hungary.

The Neological synagogue in Eger stood at the corner of Hibay Károly Street and Kossuth Lajos Street. Designed by Lipót Baumhorn in late Eclecticism and Art Nouveau styles, it had a domed, Orientalizing form that resembled his Szeged New Synagogue and Novi Sad Synagogue. Inaugurated on September 13, 1913, it was demolished in 1967; the Hotel Unicornis now occupies the site.

Lipót Baumhorn designed the synagogue, built between 1911 and 1913 and inaugurated on September 13, 1913. After World War II decimated Eger's Jewish community, the building was sold to the city council and used as a warehouse. It was demolished in 1967; the Hotel Unicornis has stood on the site since 1969.

The synagogue followed the Neolog rite, the modern strand of Hungarian Judaism that used Hungarian in parts of the service. Its late Eclectic and Art Nouveau forms, with a dome, tied it to Lipót Baumhorn's synagogues in Szeged and Novi Sad. After the Holocaust decimated the congregation, the building was sold to the city council and used as a warehouse.

The former location of the synagogue is now home to a hotel, making the site easily accessible in the city center. Information about the building's past is available from local sources and heritage organizations in Eger.

The synagogue stood on the corner of today's Hibay Károly Street and Kossuth Lajos Street. It was blown up in 1967, and the Hotel Unicornis, named after the unicorn in Eger's coat of arms, opened on the site on 3 October 1969. Only a few colour postcards and black-and-white photographs record the building.
