Best temples in Hungary
Hungary’s entry in the catalogue is a single neighbourhood: the old Jewish quarter of Pest, in Budapest’s seventh district, where three synagogues stand within a few minutes’ walk of each other. They reflect the split of the community into three congregations after 1869. The Dohany Street Synagogue, the largest in Europe, is the Moorish Revival landmark; Otto Wagner’s octagonal Rumbach Street Synagogue and the Art Nouveau Kazinczy Street Synagogue are smaller and quieter.
