Maribor Synagogue
Sinagoga Maribor
One of the oldest synagogues in Europe, dating to the 14th century, now a cultural centre presenting Jewish history.
The Maribor Synagogue dates to around the early 14th century and is one of the oldest surviving synagogues in Central Europe. After the Jews were expelled in 1497, the building was converted into a church and a warehouse. Restored, it now serves as a Jewish cultural centre, presenting the history of Slovenia's Jewish community and hosting contemporary art exhibitions. The building is simple and modest in scale, located beside Jewish Square in the old Jewish Quarter, right next to the Water Tower. Admission is inexpensive, and weekend opening hours are limited.
