The smallest but most active synagogue in Kazimierz, dating from 1553. Under normal circumstances, if you enter quietly, you may even be afforded a glimpse of a service. Currently however, restoration works mean you'll need to make an appointment to see the interior or stroll through the cemetery which was in use until 1800. This holy burial ground was spared by the vandalism of the Nazis because many of the gravestones had been buried to avoid desecration during the 19th century occupation of Kraków by Austrian forces. Most famous is the tomb of the 16th century Rabbi Moses Isserles, better known as the Remuh. Beside him lies his wife, Golda Auerbach, in the cemetery's oldest tomb.
Admission 5/2zł.
