Has Abstract (Old-New Synagogue), the oldest building in Prague’s Jewish Quarter and the oldest preserved synagogue in Europe. Originally called the New or Great Shul, it became known as Altneuschul after the establishment of other synagogues in the late sixteenth century. Today it is the oldest surviving Gothic medieval double-nave synagogue. The other examples of this type were the late twelfth-century synagogue in Worms (destroyed in 1938), the early thirteenth-century synagogue in Regensburg (destroyed in 1519), and the fourteenth-century Old Synagogue in Vienna (destroyed in 1420). Similar in layout is the early fifteenth-century Gothic Old Synagogue in Kraków. yivo
