• Slovak name: Chasidská synagoga
• Location: Krmanova Street
• Foundation: 1920
• Confession: Hasidic Judaism

When World War I reached the Northern border of Slovakia in 1915, the Hasidic Jewish community of Stropkov (SK) and Radomyśl Wielki (PL) fled from the Russian army to Košice – back then one of the largest Jewish centres of this part of Europe – where they joined the orthodox community. After the war in 1920, the Hasidic community built an own synagogue on today’s Krmanova Street.

The elongated building is covered by a gable roof. Its design is simple, and it has high round-arched windows. In its original form, the synagogue had two prayer halls facing to the East, each of which could be entered from the South and the North through a vestibule.

The Hasidic Synagogue’s interior underwent a massive remodelling between 1957 and 1959, and serves today as a technical laboratory for metals.
