Best temples in Poland

Poland’s prewar Jewish community was Europe’s largest; its surviving synagogues are mostly museums now. Two of the catalogue’s three stand in Kazimierz, Krakow’s old Jewish quarter: the Old Synagogue on Szeroka Street, the oldest surviving synagogue building in Poland and now a branch of the city’s historical museum, and the sixteenth-century High Synagogue, named for its prayer hall on the upper floor. The third is the White Stork Synagogue in Wroclaw, a neoclassical building of 1829, restored and used again by the city’s Jewish community.
