The Orthodoxe Synagoge

The Orthodoxe Synagoge was one of the early buildings of the famous Austrian architect Otto Wagner. The orthodox synagoge was built, when the jewish population grew fast in the second half of the 19th century. It was almost completely destroyed in WW II and only partly restored afterwards. From outside it looks nice already, but the interior will need some years of restoration still. The street there is quite narrow, so I had to take my extreme wide-angle-lens for that picture, that is why some of the straight lines are bended a bit on my photo. The Orthodox synagoge is just a few blocks from the big Synagoge: Rumbach Sebestyén utca 11-13. In order to get there you may take Metro M2 and leave at station “Deák Tér”.
