Raslavice, Synagogue

The synagogue is located in the center of the town of Raslavice, on the boundary line of the original Hungarian and Slovak parts of Raslavice. The building, which has a rectangular floor plan measuring 16 × 10 meters was built in the early 1930s in a functionalist style, on the site of an older synagogue. It served its religious purpose only for a short time, as during the Second World War almost all members of the local Jewish religious community were deported.

In the post-war period, the building served for many years as a commercial space and later as a warehouse. In 2021-2022, the synagogue was comprehensively renovated thanks to an initiative of the municipality of Raslavice and financial support from the Prešov Self-Governing Region. Currently, the building serves as the Folk Art Gallery of Horný Šariš and as a cultural and educational space for Raslavice.
The synagogue is a national cultural monument owned by the Federation of Jewish Communities in the Slovak Republic and managed by the municipality of Raslavice.
