Nagykapos Synagogue I
c. 1903
Postcard: photographer unknown

The synagogue (shown, above right) was constructed around 1891 and was located on the main street—Fö utca (presently, Hlavná ulica)—next to a school. It was a free-standing building with a traditional layout and an upper balcony for the women, in keeping with Orthodox prayer customs. The men entered through the main entrance, facing the northeast, which was flanked by arched windows, while the women's entrance was on the northwest side of the building. The synagogue was demolished in the 1960's.
