Orthodox Synagogue

Location: Puškinova Street, Košice

Jews could move to Košice not earlier than 1840 but the number of them increased rapidly and in the era of the first republic of Czechoslovakia the every fifth inhabitant of Košice was Jew. Orthodox Jews built the synagogue in 1927 on Puškinova Street in Moorish style under supervision of architect Ľudovít Oelschlager. Later due to holocaust many of Jews from Košice died and that is why the synagogue stayed empty and minimally used for a long time after war. This situation has been changed in present.
