Former neolog synagogue
Building, structure
The characteristic triangular plot formed by the crossroads originally housed two townhouses. The plot was purchased by the Jewish community of Bánya Selmec in 1890 thanks to a donation. The neoclassical synagogue, which follows the shape of the plot and the previous houses, was built here in 1893. The three-axis main facade of the building, which has a nearly rectangular floor plan, a two-story interior, and a saddle roof, is divided into large windows with semicircular openings and is crowned with a triangular gable at the top. In the middle of this, the tablets of the Law of Moses can be seen. ; The Jewish community was able to use the building until 1941. The vast majority of Jews who survived the Holocaust did not return to Selmec, so their synagogue passed into state ownership due to the lack of a community to maintain it. After World War II, it stood empty in the 1950s, later it housed a piano school for a while, and then a driving school. The building was renovated in 2014.
