history

Nearby the Klausen Synagogue, architect František Gerstel built a new building in a Romantic concept of a Romanesque manor in the years 1911 – 1912. It is a former ceremonial hall and mortuary, which today hosts the exposition of the Jewish Museum named Jewish traditions and habits – Course of Life.
