Visit the Remuh Synagogue, among Krakow's oldest Jewish sites. Step inside the restored prayer hall, then walk the adjoining cemetery to see its wall of salvaged gravestones.

📖

Full description

The Remuh Synagogue in Kazimierz is one of the city's oldest Jewish houses of worship, dating to the 16th century, and an old cemetery lies beside it. The site survived the Nazi era and was restored after the war, and the cemetery's wall incorporates salvaged gravestone fragments.

Reviews are mixed: some find the building modest and the entry fee steep for two plain rooms, while others value the history of the synagogue and cemetery. It suits visitors with a personal or historical interest in Jewish Krakow.

It is closed on Saturdays, and a visit takes about 30 minutes.

Reviews

A synagogue and cemetery rich with history that dates to the 1400s and barely survived the Nazi era but was restored as best as possible after the war. The wall of tears was an ingenious construction incorporating the many damaged headstones during that atrocious era.
