Center judovske kulturne dediščine Sinagoga Maribor

Maribor Synagogue (Slovene: Sinagoga Maribor) is a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in what was the center of the medieval Maribor ghetto Židovska ulica ("Jewish Street"), in the city of Maribor, Slovenia. The former congregation was established in the 14th century and worshiped in the Ashkenazi rite. The synagogue building was completed in the late 14th century, the building served as a synagogue until 1497; as a church from 1501 until 1785; and as a Jewish history museum, called the Center of Jewish Cultural Heritage Synagogue Maribor, since 2001. It is one of the oldest preserved synagogues in Europe, and one of only two left in Slovenia; the other being the Lendava Synagogue. It once functioned as the centre of the medieval Jewish community in Maribor, among the most prominent in the Eastern Alps-area.
