Medieval Jewish Prayer House in Budapest

The Medieval Jewish Prayer House in the Buda Castle is located in Mihály Táncsics Street.

The synagogue was built in 1461, on the ground floor and in the courtyard of the house standing here. During the Turkish occupation, the synagogue was in use throughout. The interior drawings and inscriptions of the building date from the 16th century. The building was destroyed in 1685 during the war against the Turks.

The prayer room was rediscovered in 1964 and restored in 1968.

The building houses an exhibition on the history of Judaism.
