Židovská Synagoga

??‍♀️??

A wonderful place of reverence as a park where the synagogue used to stand. Looking at one single tombstone with the text ABOUT GOD, ABOUT WHY YOU LEAVED US, a pile of stones and the rest of the fencing, tears in my eyes. Beautiful place, two benches for meditation and a quiet memory. The Temple or Trutnov Synagogue stood here from 1882 to 1938, when it was burned down by the Nazis. The size of the synagogue is evidenced by the number of seats - it had 176 seats for men and 120 seats in the women's gallery, its dome was one of the dominant features of Trutnov.

The local synagogue has stood on the side of Na Struze Street since 1885. The tower with a dome dominated the building with a rectangular floor plan measuring 21 x 14 m in the west above the main entrance. Inside were 176 seats for men only. 160 of them were leased to members of the Trutnov Jewish community. Proceeds from the rental of seats went to the maintenance of the synagogue. The remaining 16 seats were reserved for guests. It was possible to climb the stairs to the side balconies with 120 seats reserved for women. This area was entered by a spiral staircase. The interior of the synagogue was decorated with a wooden altar, a pulpit and two artfully made candlesticks with 24 arms. The entire temple space was illuminated by a large 24-arm chandelier with a hundred light bulbs. Until 1938, the rabbi of Trutnov provided religious ceremonies in the synagogue. The synagogue served its purpose for 53 years. During the so-called Crystal Night from November 9 to 10, 1938, it was set on fire by the Nazis and subsequently demolished.
