Pszczyna - Jewish Heritage Trail

The Jewish community was once part of multicultural Pszczyna. The first Jews settled here in the early 16th century, and in 1885 the community numbered 341 people – its members sat on the town council, and Fedor Muhr even became mayor.

Today, the audio guide we prepared leads you in the footsteps of Pszczyna’s Jews, not only presenting the history of their presence in the town but also showing places connected with Jewish tradition and religion – the former synagogue, a sukkah and the community house with its mikveh. At the end of the walk, we visit the cemetery founded in 1814, with its characteristic gravestones – matzevot. The recordings are in Polish.
