Synagogue in Sokolov

Sokolov, Czech Republic

No longer standing

Demolished or destroyed.

The Synagogue in Sokolov, located in the Czech Republic, is a Moorish Revival structure that served the town's Jewish community. Built in this ornate nineteenth-century style, the synagogue exemplifies the architectural tastes of Central European Jewry during its period of construction, though the building now stands as a historical remnant of a community fundamentally altered by the twentieth century.
