Trenčín Synagogue, Art Nouveau synagogue in Trenčín, Slovakia.
Trenčín Synagogue is an Art Nouveau place of worship featuring three prominent domes that combine Byzantine elements with a reinforced concrete structure. The architects Richard Scheibner and Hugo Pál designed the building with a distinctive profile that stands out in the urban landscape.
The building was constructed in 1913, replacing an earlier wooden synagogue from 1781. This transformation reflected the city's modernization during the early 20th century.
The synagogue functions as a cultural center hosting exhibitions and performances while maintaining a dedicated prayer space for the Jewish community. Visitors experience how religious tradition and contemporary cultural life coexist within the same walls.
The building sits at the northern edge of Ľudovít Štúr Square and opens its doors during scheduled exhibitions. It makes sense to check ahead about current events to ensure the interior is accessible during your visit.
Inspections revealed original Art Nouveau paintings hidden beneath white paint that was applied when the building served as a clothing storage facility. These concealed artistic details tell the story of the building's complex past.
