Following years of meticulous restoration, Isaac’s Synagogue in Kraków’s Kazimierz district has reopened today to pilgrims and visitors from around the world. The project not only rescued the historic building from the threat of structural collapse, but also preserved the synagogue’s remarkable stucco decorations on the vaulted ceiling with minimal intervention to its historic fabric.
Although the complete restoration is expected to continue for several more years, visitors can already admire the newly restored vault of the main prayer hall — regarded as one of the finest surviving examples of Jewish architecture in Kraków. As the largest synagogue in Kazimierz, Isaac’s Synagogue remains one of the city’s most significant monuments of Jewish heritage.
Visitor opening hours:
• Summer season: 10:00–18:00
• Winter season: 10:00–16:00
• Closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays.
