The Great Synagogue Pilsen is the third largest synagogue in the world. Between 1995 and 1998 it was completely renovated with great effort. Today the building is also used for cultural events and can be visited.

The Great Synagogue, built in 1893 in a Moorish-Romanesque style, is the third largest in Europe (and the fifth largest in the world). It is a testament to the rich Jewish community in Pilsen, which unfortunately was almost wiped out during the Nazi occupation in 1939-1945. The historic building was extensively reconstructed at the end of the 20th century and, thanks to its excellent acoustics and unique atmosphere, also serves as a concert and exhibition hall in addition to religious purposes.
