New Synagogue, Žilina, Arts centre and cultural landmark in Žilina, Slovakia.
The New Synagogue features a large central dome measuring 16 meters in diameter and rises 17.6 meters high with narrow ascending windows.
German Modernist architect Peter Behrens designed this synagogue for the Neolog Jewish congregation, which was completed in 1931 with space for 800 worshippers.
The building transformed from a religious sanctuary to an arts center, now presenting contemporary exhibitions, performances, and community gatherings in its restored spaces.
Following extensive restoration between 2012 and 2017, the New Synagogue opened its doors as a public cultural venue with regular exhibitions and events.
The structure combines religious architectural elements with modern design principles, featuring a sunken entrance accessed by steps below street level.
