About

The Remuh Synagogue (Synagoga Remuh) is a living monument of Kraków’s Jewish heritage, nestled on the historic streets of the Kazimierz district at ul. Szeroka 40. Dating back to 1556, it was founded by Izrael (Isserl), a royal banker, in honor of his son, Rabbi Moses Isserles, famously known as the Remah. With a beautifully preserved 16th‑century interior, the synagogue remains one of the only active places of worship in the city’s Jewish quarter, hosting regular services for the small, dedicated community that still gathers here. Its stone walls, ornate woodwork, and sympathetic architectural details offer visitors a rare glimpse into the spiritual life of Kraków’s past and present, making it a must‑see for history buffs and cultural tourists alike.
