The exhibition of the Museum of Jewish Culture is installed in the women’s gallery. Following the end of the Second World War, a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust was placed in front of the synagogue, built according to a design by the architect Artur Szalatnai-Slatinský.

Day 4

TRENCIN & BARDEJOV

Start with a city tour & castle visit. The Trenčín synagogue belongs to the most exquisite and interesting works of its type in Slovakia. It was built close to an earlier synagogue. In 1913, a Trenčín construction firm, Fuchs and Niegreisz, based on the blueprints of a Berlin architect Dr. Richard Scheibner, carried out the construction.

Transfer to Liptovsky Mikulas town, city tour, and synagogue visit. Synagogue was built in 1842–46 and it assumed its present form after extensive reconstruction in 1906 under the project of architect Lipót Baumhorn from Budapest. The reconstruction resulted in an interesting combination of original classicistic exterior and lavishly decorated secession interior. It does not fulfill its original purposes anymore. Lunch break.

The Orthodox synagogue, built in 1898 by the building firm Kollacsek and Wirth, is a three-story building without towers.
