The Maisel Synagogue (Czech: Maiselova synagoga) is a Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in the former Jewish quarter of Prague, in the Czech Republic. The synagogue was built at the end of the 16th century in the Gothic Revival style. Since then its appearance has changed several times. The synagogue belongs to the Jewish Community of Prague and is administered by the Jewish Museum in Prague as a part of its exhibitions.
