Pińczów synagogue

The Pinczow Synagogue

Pińczów synagogue is a Jewish synagogue in Pińczów in Poland.

It is one of the oldest synagogues in Poland, built in 1594-1609. The designer was probably the Florentian Santi Gucci. During World War II it was vandalized by the Nazi Germans, then damaged during fighting in 1944, and it is inactive since then. From the 1970s it has been restored.
