Bal Shem Tov Synagogue

Moldavia & the Bucovina Monasteries


Just north of the Princely Court, this simple wooden synagogue dating from 1766 was built over the foundations of a 1490 predecessor. The tiny interior is decorated with Jewish artefacts, restored frescoes and paintings. While the synagogue keeps nominal opening hours, it's often closed. The best bet is to call ahead to make sure it's open.
