Both of these houses have a common seven-axis empire facade, consisting of a central three-axis risalit and two symmetrical side parts. Above the entrance is a shield with a Hebrew inscription and lions holding a shield with a clock . Services were held in the synagogue until World War II.<\/p>\n<p>In 1956, the building was adapted into a cinema and in previous years it even served as a discotheque. The local primary art school (rabbi&#8217;s house) is located in the south wing\u00a0 . The synagogue is protected as a\u00a0 cultural monument of the Czech Republic and its reconstruction is currently being planned.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"place\"><strong>Venue<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Former Jewish Synagogue<br \/>\n\u017di\u017ekova<br \/>\n387 01 Volyn<\/p>\n<p><strong>Region<\/strong>:South Bohemian region<br \/>\n<strong>Region<\/strong>:P\u00edsecko &#8211; Blatensko<br \/>\n<strong>City<\/strong>:Volhynia<br \/>\n<strong>Tips for a trip<\/strong>:Volhynia and surroundings<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"promoter\" data-gtm-vis-recent-on-screen-1816297_44=\"3514270\" data-gtm-vis-first-on-screen-1816297_44=\"3514270\" data-gtm-vis-total-visible-time-1816297_44=\"100\" data-gtm-vis-has-fired-1816297_44=\"1\"><strong>Operator<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Information center &#8211; Volyn culture<br \/>\nn\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed Svobody 1<br \/>\n387 01 Volyn<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tel.<\/strong>:+420 380 123 525<\/li>\n<li><strong>GPS<\/strong>:49.166323 13.885987<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"time\"><strong>Duration Time<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>1-3 hours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- ph-related --><\/p>\n<h2>Related Reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/discover-magnificent-architecture-of-the-brzeznice-jewish-synagogue\/\">Discover magnificent architecture of the Brzeznice Jewish Synagogue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/former-auxiliary-synagogue-garden-of-memories-in-pilsen\/\">Former Auxiliary Synagogue &#8211; Garden of Memories in Pilsen<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/jewish-synagogue-in-kdyna\/\">Jewish Synagogue in Kdyna<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/jewish-synagogue-in-new-church\/\">Jewish Synagogue in New Church<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The synagogue in Volyn stands in the former Jewish street, today in \u017di\u017ekov.
