Gallery and Venue
Synagogue – Pińczów
The Old Synagogue in Pińczów is one of the oldest and best-preserved synagogues in Poland. Built in the early 17th century, its monumental interior – with preserved polychromes and the aron ha-kodesh – reflects the importance of the local Jewish community. The synagogue survived WWII and, after restoration in the 1990s, became a branch of the Regional Museum. Today it serves as a place of remembrance and cultural events.
