Shakh’s synagogue was built in 1560s and is now the fourth oldest synagogue in the Czech Republic. The current interior is from major reconstruction in the 1730’s. In the reconstruction the current Polish-type baroque decorations were created. Since there is little living Jewish community in Holešov, the synagogue is mainly used as a heritage object.
