The Heydukova Street Synagogue is the only Jewish synagogue in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.[1] It was constructed in 1923 – 1924 on Heydukova Street in the Old Town in Cubist style, designed by the local Jewish architect Artur Szalatnai.
The synagogue is an important example of Slovak religious architecture of the 20th century and it is listed as a Slovak National Cultural Monument. It is one of only four active synagogues in Slovakia and historically one of three in Bratislava; the other two survived WW2 but were demolished in the 1960s.[2] The building also houses the Bratislava Jewish Community Museum, installed upstairs, with a permanent exhibition “The Jews of Bratislava and Their Heritage” which is open to the public during the summer season.
