Synagogue

The former Synagoge under Várkör str. 36 was built in 1856 in romantic style. Baron Phillip Schey donated the funds for the building, who also supported the first kindergarten and the first poor-house in Kőszeg. The building is surrounded by the Rabbi-house and the community elementary school building. The Holocaust ruined the Kőszeg jewish community. The Synagoge was not used since 1951. New religious jewish community was established in 2016. The renovation of the Synagoge has already started with the support of the Hungarian state. Research and museum functions will also be part of the complex.
