The Great Synagogue of Pilsen is the largest in the Czech Republic. It was built between 1888 and 1892 in the Romanesque Revival style with Moorish elements according to the plans of the Viennese architect Max Fleischer. During the Second World War, the synagogue was used as a warehouse. After the war, it was used again for religious purposes until 1973, but by the end of the communist regime, it was almost abandoned.
