Overview
The Jerusalem Synagogue, located at Jeruzalémská 7, is a remarkably preserved example of Art Nouveau architecture designed by Wilhelm Stiassny. Inaugurated in 1906, it was originally known as the Jubilee Temple to mark the 50th year of Emperor Franz Joseph's reign. Today, it remains an active religious site while serving as an important venue for concerts and exhibitions. Visitors can see the unique original organ by Emanuel Stephen Peter and learn about the structure's role as a repository for Jewish property during World War II. It offers an affordable look into the city's complex history, with standard adult entry at 150 CZK and lower prices available for students and children.
