The New Synagogue in Žilina is a remarkable example of modernist architecture, built in the 1930s by architect Peter Behrens. Its clean lines, geometric forms, and large windows distinguish it from the surrounding historic buildings. After decades of disuse, it was restored and now serves as a cultural center and gallery, hosting exhibitions, concerts, and events. Visitors can admire the innovative design, including the main prayer hall's acoustics, and explore rotating contemporary art displays that breathe new life into this historic space.
