Church
The orthodox synagogue was built in Prešov in 1897 – 1898 by the Koláček & Wirth construction company.

The ark used for storing the rolls of Torah is located on the eastern side, while the central part is dominated by an elevated place and a liturgical table used while reading the Torah.

The collection also includes historical items from the original Jewish Museum that was established in Prešov in 1928.
