Nitra Synagogue, Neolog synagogue in Nitra, Slovakia.
Nitra Synagogue is a Neolog Jewish house of worship in the Slovak city of Nitra. The building features twin towers on its facade and contains a central hall topped with a dome, supported by four pillars with a gallery for women positioned above.
The building was constructed between 1908 and 1911 as a place of worship for the Neolog Jewish community. German forces occupied the city in 1944 during World War II, fundamentally changing its purpose and fate.
The building houses Slovakia's national Holocaust memorial exhibition titled 'The Fate of Slovak Jews'. The collection is complemented by works from Israeli artist Shraga Weil, which enhance the space.
The building is located at 3 Pri synagoge Street and functions as a cultural center since undergoing extensive restoration by Nitra municipality in 2004. This reopening makes it accessible to visitors from near and far who wish to experience its history and exhibitions.
This synagogue remains the only Jewish house of worship in Nitra after authorities demolished all others in 1963. This makes it a rare survivor of what was once a vibrant Jewish presence in the city.
