The Palace of Art

Location: Moyzesova Street 66, Košice

The first synagogue of Jewish Košice originated in 1886 and was named Status Quo. Orthodox Jews did not like it because it was in the neo–gothic style and therefore they built their own synagogue next to it. Both these buildings were replaced in 1927 by one big neolog synagogue designed in oriental style by Ľudovít Kozma. After the WWII it was modified in the style of socialist realism into the House of Arts (Dom umenia), the seat of the Slovak State Philharmonic Košice.
