Orthodox Synagogue, Jewish religious complex in Prešov, Slovakia.

The Orthodox Synagogue exhibits smooth facades and tall segmented windows, while the interior contains oriental-style painted walls and a central liturgical table.

Built in 1897 by Koláček & Wirth company, the synagogue represents the period when the Jewish community established its presence after centuries of restrictions.

The Bárkány collection, located on the upper floor, contains religious artifacts from the first Jewish Museum of Slovakia established in Prešov in 1928.

The synagogue welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday during daytime hours, with admission fees starting at 1 euro for adults and 0.50 euro for concessions.

The building maintains its role as both an active place of worship and a museum, housing a permanent exhibition of returned artifacts from the State Jewish Museum in Prague.
