The Great Synagogue of Plzeň in the Czech Republic has the loveliest pink spires. The first stone was laid in 1888 and it is the second largest synagogue in Europe, and the third largest in the world. It was used as a place of worship in the past, survived the second world war as a storage hall, was shortly revived as a Jewish place of worship during communism but soon closed down as there wasn’t a large enough Jewish community to maintain the building. It was finally restored towards the end of the last century and is today used for various cultural events and is open to the public.

I thought so when I saw it. From a lovely church spire, a few streets further.

I think it’s a minor miracle that the German army left it intact.
