List of synagogues in Slovakia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the many synagogues in Slovakia: the Vrbove synagogue (built in 1883)

This list of synagogues in Slovakia contains active, otherwise used and destroyed synagogues in Slovakia. The list of Slovakian synagogues is not necessarily complete, as only a negligible number of sources testify to the existence of some synagogues.

In all cases the year of the completion of the building is given. Italics indicate an approximate date.
