Stupava Synagogue

[1] Completed in 1803, the rectangular building is made of massive walls with simple Baroque Revival windows and has a saddleback roof.

An external staircase, attached diagonally to the western facade, gives access to the women's gallery.

Several oval ventilation openings in the gable are typical for the local architecture of the region.

In these synagogues the bimah is a free-standing podium or a bower situated within the central field between the pillars.

Nothing remains of the original furnishing, though the bimah-platform has been preserved and the position of the Holy Ark is still visible and marked by a niche in the wall.
