Last year was for The Trenčín Synagogue very important - it was included among the monuments that were supported by EEA Grants and the state budget. However, the funds obtained will not be enough for the complete reconstruction of this more than 100-year-old building. The total amount of eligible costs is one million euros, but thanks to the "Norwegian" project, we can only restore about half of the interior. The significant increase in the prices of building materials and works as a result of the pandemic made our entry position even more difficult, and we therefore had to cut back on our plans.
But we are convinced that the synagogue should shine again in its full beauty. It is a building not only with a unique architecture, but also with a strong story, which we want to show to the public in the future. After the renovation, these spaces are to serve as a cultural center, where concerts, exhibitions, workshops and many other events will take place. We will open our gates again and our goal is to make the synagogue a dignified stand for cultural events that will cross the borders of the regional city. However, we need your help for the complete reconstruction of the premises of this national cultural monument.
Jewish Community Trenčín therefore starts with fundraising for the restoration of the Trenčín synagogue. We believe that thanks to the contributions of people who value our history and architecture, we can restore this important monument to its dignity.
