![]() In following years the Project of Renovation was financed by the Prague Jewish Community and the District Department of Culture in Prachatice supported preparatory works, pulled down the later floor and bars, rebuilt origin window arcs and also new windows were prepared. The firm, however, was not up to its engagements, and since we have had a perfect co-operation with the Tekton Volyně building firm. The total renovation of the roof was finished in 1999, thanks to the State Roof Foundation. ![]() Through annual performances, given straight in the former winter room of prayer, we have been pointing out the fact there is a Neo-Renaissance synagogue, the only one in the district of Prachatice, originated in the year 1828. There are only few village synagogues in our country, and this one is possible to put to the origin state. And more the simple style of local builders has reflected in the elements not used for decoration with any other synagogue: the Eye of Lord on the front, and the figural fresco on the illusive altar in the main room of prayer. Both of the rooms have an extraordinary acoustics, the building itself offers a wide choice of possibilities for culture, education, and community centre. The performances we held were attended by a number of people from quite a long distance. Nothing similar is neither in both the district cities, nor in Vimperk. The boundary area of the Šumava mountains does not give a lot of opportunities for entertainment. The local Jewish cemetery links up the synagogue, and that is the one of the most beautiful and preserved one in our country, thanks to our member, Dr Jan Podlešák and his so far twenty-five-year effort. A room of piety is a part of it, devoted to the Jewish citizens from Čkyně and surroundings who died after the occupation during the World War II. |
