Mordechai Maisel's Synagogue, Josefov, Prague
P1100192.JPG
Maisel, a financier of Emperor Rudolf II, had this synagogue built in 1592. He paid a lot for this privilege.
For a hundred years, this synagogue was the largest in Prague. In 1689 a great fire affected the ghetto and the synagogue. The synagogue was reduced by a third and rebuilt in Baroque style. Again, it was significantly modified in the 19th and 20th centuries.
It is now operated by the Jewish Museum in Prague.
