Why go
Built in the 16th century as Kazimierz’s third synagogue, it placed the prayer room above ground-floor shops—an arrangement behind the name “High Synagogue.” Wartime destruction stripped the interior, but the stone niche for the Aron Kodesh and rediscovered wall paintings still provide specific points of attention.
What to look for
- The former prayer hall occupies the upper floor above the original shop level.
- A stone niche for the Aron Kodesh survives inside.
- Conserved wall paintings include Jerusalem scenes and a pair of lions.
Useful to know
- Confirm current access and exhibition arrangements before visiting; regular public opening is not established.
- Combine the exterior with nearby Jewish-heritage sites in Kazimierz if the interior is unavailable.
