Karlínská synagoga
The Karlín Synagogue is a former Jewish house of prayer. It was built in the Neo-Romanesque style in 1861. It stands in Vítkova Street in Prague's Karlín district. The sanctuary has apparently undergone several structural modifications. The last of them took place in 1928-1930, when the interior was rebuilt in a functionalist style.
Services were held here until the beginning of the Second World War. The local rabbi until 1939 was Dr. Isidor Hirsch, who was forcibly retired as a result of the Nazi occupation and died a year later. After the war the house of prayer was returned to the Prague Jewish community, but in 1950 the community sold it to the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, which adapted the building for its religious purposes and uses it to this day.
