The synagogue

At no. 11 Gardens of Petatricatniku (Sady Petatricatniku) there is a modern synagogue, built by R. Stech in 1892 to the design of architect Fleicher in Romantic Moor-Romanesque style. The two towers neatly contain the divided facade, culminating in the three-sided gable.

The synagogue was an indication of the rich Jewish community in Plzen which, however, was practically decimated by the Nazis.
