Maribor Synagogue, Gothic synagogue in Maribor, Slovenia

The medieval synagogue features a wide recess for the Ark of Covenant and fragments with Hebrew inscriptions on its stone walls.

Built in the late 14th century, the synagogue served as a religious center until 1497 when Jews were expelled by Austrian emperor Maximilian I.

The Center of Jewish Cultural Heritage Synagogue Maribor maintains exhibitions about Jewish history and organizes commemorative events throughout the year.

Located near the outer walls in the former Jewish district of Maribor, the synagogue museum opens daily for visitors to explore Jewish heritage.

Before their departure, several Catholic families in 15th century Maribor requested conversion to Judaism, an unusual occurrence in medieval Europe.
