Úštěk Synagogue

Úštěk Synagogue (Czech: Synagoga v Úštěku, German: Die Synagoge in Auscha, Hebrew: בית הכנסת אושה) is an 18th-century Jewish synagogue, located in the town of Úštěk, in the Litoměřice District of the Ústí nad Labem Region, in the Czech Republic. The building has been spared of near complete collapse

after 1989 and eventually restored to its original baroque appearance. It has served as the region's Jewish museum since 2014, as well as an active place of worship of the tiny local Jewish community.
