Klausen Synagogue

Visit the site of the largest synagogue in the former Prague Ghetto, currently undergoing renovation for a future exhibition on Jewish customs and traditions.

Overview

The Klausen Synagogue, located at U Starého hřbitova 243/3a, represents the largest preserved synagogue from the former Prague Ghetto and stands as a primary example of early Baroque architecture in the area. Established in 1694 following the Ghetto fire of 1689, it was constructed on a site previously occupied by three smaller 16th-century structures, including a notable yeshiva founded by Rabbi Loew. Historically, it served as the second main synagogue of the Prague Jewish Community and acted as a dedicated place of prayer for the Prague Burial Society. While currently closed for extensive renovation to prepare for a new core exhibition on Jewish customs and traditions, the site remains an essential architectural landmark that is occasionally used for special events like concerts.
