Terezin Synagogue

The Terezin Synagogue is the only remaining "secret synagogue" in the Czech Republic. This prayer room of modest dimensions was created by Artur Berlinger, a German religious master and artist imprisoned in Terezin from 1942 until his deportation to Auschwitz in the autumn of 1944. Meanwhile, Berlinger created the prayer room in an old storage space and regularly organized religious services there. The room retains the original painted decoration.

Rotunda of St. George and St. Adalbert

The rotunda of St. George and St. Adalbert at the top of Říp Mountain is a Romanesque rotunda, one of the oldest preserved buildings in the Czech Republic. The first written mention of the rotunda dates from 1126, but the building was founded earlier, perhaps around 1039, when the remains of St. Adalbert were transferred to Prague. The present appearance of the rotunda is the result of a purist reconstruction which took place in 1869-1881.
