Pińczów synagogue is one of the oldest preserved monuments of Jewish culture in Poland. It was built at the end of the 16th century in the south Mirów with rubble on a rectangular plan. The prayer room is "closed" with barrel vaults with lunettes. There is a preserved mannerist Aron Kodesh.
The Renaissance synagogue from the end of the 16th century in the south Mirów was built with rubble on a rectangular plan.
On the walls, there are fragments of Hebrew sentences and paintings with floral motifs and animal motifs, in the form of a two-headed eagle around which there are deer, rabbit, unicorn, a stork with a snake in its beak, other birds and possibly a bear. Vestibule is closed to a communal room, where there is a inscription with laws relating to justice, e.g. you shall not take a bribe, you shall not do harm at the court, you shall not give priority to the poor in an unjust case, you shall not have regard for the rich, you shall judge justly thy neighbour.
The Jewish cemetery in Pińczów was built in the 15th century. The last burial took place there in 1942. During the world wars, the cemetery was vandalized and now there is no trace of the once existing cemetery. The surviving gravestones are placed at Pińczów synagogue since 1990.
