Husův dům, bývalá Nová synagoga

Interesting building.

good

The former synagogue building in Kutná Hora is a miniature match for the city. The synagogue in Kutná Hora was built in 1902 by the architect Boguslav Moravec. In 1939, after the Nazi occupation, the synagogue was closed, and in 1949 it was transferred to the Hussite Czechoslovak Church. It is symbolic, but in the external and internal interior of the building, Jewish symbolism was preserved, despite the fact that the temple now performs a religious function for another denomination.

The new synagogue in Kutná Hora was built in the Art Nouveau style in 1902 directly opposite the Jesuit College, along today's Smíšková Street according to a project by Bohuslav Moravec. It thus replaced the older prayer house in Radnická Street from 1881. It was used for services until the Second World War, after which it was used for some time by a local organ company. Two years after the end of the war, she rented the building and in 1949 it was bought by the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, which still uses the building after reconstruction and repairs.
