The old synagogue

The synagogue in Czarny Dunajec was probably founded at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. According to the accounts of the descendants, the building could accommodate about 300 worshipers, on the ground floor there was a main hall with the aron ha-kodesh facing south-east (towards Jerusalem).

The furnishings of the synagogue have not survived to this day, only remnants of colorful polychrome can be seen on the walls. After the war, the synagogue building was rebuilt. In the place of the aron ha-kodesh, an additional door from Sienkiewicza street was knocked out, an additional ceiling was added and additional space was obtained on the first floor to replace the gallery with the women's gallery.

After the war, the synagogue building served as a warehouse. Thanks to the efforts of the volunteers of the "People, not Numbers" project, and later the municipal office in Czarny Dunajec, in October 2021 the building was entered into the register of monuments, and thanks to the signing of a lease agreement with the Krakow Religious Community, which formally owns the synagogue, an attempt was made to find funds for its renovation. Ultimately, the building is to house the Center for International Dialogue with the House of Remembrance of the Czarny Dunajec Region.
