Budapest - Pest Synagogue and Jewish Museum Zsidó Múzeum
|
|
At the beginning of Dohány utca, stands the Pest Synagogue, built between 1854 and 1859 to the plans of the Viennese architect Ludwig Förster. The romanticized Moorish-Byzantine style of this three-aisled temple is very pleasing to the eye; Frigyes Feszl was responsible for the fine interior.
The Jewish Museum (Orságos Zsidó Vallási és Történeti Gyüjtemény) is housed in an annex of the synagogue. In 1944/45 the garden, surrounded by arcades, was made into a cemetery for the victims of the Budapest ghetto.
