Description

Originally built as a bourgeois house in the 14th century, it was later reconstructed many times. Based on its frescoes from the 17th century, at that time it was more than a common house: it could have been the residence of the rabbi or even a synagogue as well. After the renovation in 1964 it was turned into an exhibition room showing the history of the medieval Jewry of Buda and since 2018 it functions as a synagogue as well.
