Great Medieval Synagogue in Buda

The synagogue in Obuda was built in 1821 in a French empire style. In the 1970s it fell into disuse and was sold by the Jewish community for use as a television studio. It then housed Hungarian TV sound studies, but since 2010 it has returned to function as a synagogue

The Újlaki Synagogue in Budapest is a Neologist synagogue completed in 1888 by architect Sándor Fellner. The synagogue was rebuilt in 1928 by architects Dezső Jakab and Aladárand Soós. This brick building still serves as a synagogue.

The small medieval synagogue in Buda presumably existed in the fourteenth century and was later included in the structure of a dwelling house. The original layout of the synagogue is not clear. The preserved wall paintings include a Star of David inscribed with the text of the priestly benediction pronounced by the cohanim when they bless the worshippers, and a bow and arrow, inscribed with the Prayer of Hannah. Currently the synagogue is a museum. It also houses a lapidarium with Jewish tombstones from the medieval and Ottoman periods (thirteenth to seventeenth centuries).
