Castle Synagogue in Nowy Sącz, 18th century synagogue in Nowy Sącz, Poland

The Castle Synagogue features traditional Jewish architectural elements with a central prayer hall and decorative interior design elements from the 1746 construction period.

After serving as the main Jewish place of worship since 1746, the synagogue experienced damage during World War II when German forces used it as a storage facility.

The synagogue now functions as a branch of the Regional Museum, displaying exhibitions about Jewish heritage and hosting concerts due to its acoustic properties.

Visitors can explore the synagogue and its exhibitions at Berek Joselewicz Street, with guided tours available through the Regional Museum in Nowy Sącz.

The building maintains its connection to Jewish religious life as Hassidic groups still conduct services while visiting the tombs of Rabbi Haim Halberstam and his descendants.
