Pińczów synagogue

Pińczów synagogue is a Jewish synagogue in Pińczów in Poland.

The Pinczow Synagogue

It is one of the oldest synagogues in Poland, built between 1594–1609.[1] It was damaged during the Holocaust, which led to its disuse. Restoration on the building began in the 1970s, led by the Pińczów Regional Museum, with most of the repairs completed by 1998.[2]
