Opava Synagogue

The Opava Synagogue (Czech: Synagoga v Opavě), or Tempel, was a former Jewish synagogue, located in Opava (German: Troppau), Silesia, in the Czech Republic.

The synagogue was destroyed in 1938, when it was burned and levelled to the ground by the local fanaticized Sudeten Germans.

[1] The name of the street where the tempel originally stood still bears the name “U synagogy”.

The neighbouring rabbinical house, built in the same architectonical style, survived the Nazi rampage and is preserved.
