Temple in Prague
The Maisel Synagogue in Prague, Czech Republic, reflects the Gothic style that was popular during its construction, during the late 18th and early 19th century. Jewish architecture did not develop a style of its own. The style of synagogues has tended to follow that of the culture in which the temple is located.
