THE OLD SYNAGOGUE

The synagogue was built in 1746 on the site of an earlier wooden synagogue, and rebuilt in the 19th century after a fire. This beautiful former place of worship is the only surviving synagogue from the Nazi exactions in the city. During the Second World War, it was located inside the ghetto that the Nazis had created in Nowy Sącz. Rebuilt in the 1970s, it has long housed a gallery whose collection commemorates the city's Jewish population.
