Tempel Synagogue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tempel Synagogue is a Reform Judaism synagogue in Kraków, Poland, in Kazimierz district. It was built in 1860-1862, designed by Ignacy Hercok. Synagogue was devastated during the World War II by Nazis, who used the building as a magazine during the war. After the war it was used again for prayers. In 1947 a mikvah was built in the northern part of synagogue. Regular prayers were held to 1985. Synagogue was vastly renovated in 1995-2000. It is still active today, although the prayers are held only a few times a year.
