Synagogue Maior and Mikveh
Thanks to its paintings, the Synagogue is a unique monument and a landmark of the Jewish town as well as of the whole town of Boskovice. An exhibition showing the history of the local Jewish community can be found inside. Close to the synagogue, we can visit the Jewish ritual bath, so-called Mikveh.
Jewish Municipal House
The house used to be one of the centres of the Jewish community's life since the first third of the 19th century. There was not only the administrative centre but also a school or Matzah bakery. Nowadays, visitors should go there if they want to know more about the history of Jewish towns in Czech lands. They can also have some idea how the equipment of Rabbi's house or Matzah bakery could look like.
