Great Synagogue

This is a true architectural masterpiece, striking in its grandeur and exquisite details. This synagogue is the third largest in Europe, and the second in the Czech Republic after Prague, and its scale immediately arouses admiration! I am also impressed by the quality of the restoration: the red brick facade has retained its historical expressiveness, the interior has been restored with respect for the original design - the paintings, decorative elements and the organ shine again in all their glory! The atmosphere inside is calm and solemn, even if you are not a religious person, this place makes a deep impression if you are a lover of architecture! The building is also used for concerts.

The Great Synagogue in Pilsen is truly massive and incredibly impressive. Standing inside, you can feel the weight of history and the beauty of its architecture. I highly recommend also taking time to read the information about the women in the building at the back.

Located in the center of the city, open conveniently open for the public after paying hefty entrance fee. Women are missing from the story.

Beautifully restored and atmospheric. While we were there, they had a very emotive exhibit on photos from Ukraine. The computer information booths on the second floor are very worth spending some time browsing as they have an extensive collection of photos from the restorations (before and after). There's a small souvenir shop at the back.

Breathtaking... and sad. What a wonderful and colourful civilization almost destroyed by the Germans. Am Israel Chai!

Love the architecture. Seems smaller inside but that's because of the side galleries.

Likely, like many others, I was also in a synagogue for the first time when I visited this one. Just like all places of worship, this synagogue is very large and impressive. However, there is an entrance fee, but in exchange, men are given a kippah - essentially as a souvenir. In general, if you're in Pilsen and have never been inside a synagogue, this is a good opportunity to have a look and learn a bit more about Judaism.

Great disapointment. 6€ for what??!! I was in many churches and mosques. First time in synagoge if I do not count that from my home town which is 'museum' synagoge I do not remember to pay for a visit to a 'holy' place. Robbery.

120c czk for admission fee. Beautiful inside and outside. I walked in without knowing what it was. Building looked interesting from outside. They have a lot of displays in the hallway to talk about Jewish history in the area and I thought it was very informative.
