FORMER SYNAGOGUE TURNED EVENT VENUE

At the crossroads of the Jewish and Catholic culture, the special venue Hevre found its home. It is situated within the former synagogue Chewra Thilim, built at the end of the 19th century that operated till the start of the second world war. Following the war, it became the permanent residence of the singing and dancing ensemble “Krakowiacy”. The decayed building was saved by the owners of two popular cafes in Krakow, Alchemia and Bunkier. Organising an event in a former synagogue is fascinating. The paintings on the wall from the Hebrew Bible, the high ceilings and the attention to detail will transport you to another time.

Badly damaged during WWII, many of the original architectural elements are still in place, including traces of the once-extensive original frescos on the patchy, peeling walls. With plenty of space, high ceilings and the original mechitza (a balcony used to separate men and women in Jewish temples) above the ground floor bar, there’s a real feeling of history here, not to mention a social, uniquely Cracovian atmosphere. Organising an event in Krakow without Kazimierz will bereave attendees of a remarkable historical twist.
