New Orthodox Synagogue (Košice)

[2] The Old Orthodox Synagogue in Zvonárska Street, constructed in 1899 to the design of János Balogh,[3]: 122  that, as of July 2024[update], is still standing, and was used as a place of worship until World War II.The façade uses both Neo-classical and local traditional motifs; and example of the latter is the attic storey in a style often found in renaissance buildings of Eastern Slovakia.The interior, largely constructed in concrete, is in the Modernist style with a domed central hall and a women's gallery with a metal mechitzah.A school was built adjoining the synagogue and a mikveh (ritual bath) was planned but not constructed.[3]: 123 Transports of Jews from Kosice to Nazi camps were carried out during World War II.
