New Synagogue

The New Synagogue of Žilina, Slovakia, was constructed between 1928 and 1931 to the designs of the German modernist architect Peter Behrens. It is sometimes referred to as the Neological or Neolog Synagogue, as it housed the Neolog congregation of the town. Completed eight years before World War II, which almost obliterated the Jewish population of Slovakia, it has been called "the last Slovak synagogue". Having been used for other purposes after WW2, it was restored 2011-17 to become an arts centre.
