About this building
The synagogue was built in the first half of the 16th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, the building was extended to include a Renaissance extension with a vestibule, nave and gallery. In 1860, in order not to be damaged by the floods, the floor of the vestibule and the main space was raised by half a second. During the Second World War, the synagogue in Pinkas was used as a warehouse for Jewish liturgical utensils.
