At the beginning of the Jewish settlement Jews did not live in a special ghetto but owned homes, for example, on the main square. They were concentrated in a ghetto starting, most likely, in the mid-17th century. The Jewish Quarter stretched north from the square; remnants are preserved until today in reconstructed buildings. The original synagogue, probably wooden, burned to the ground during a fire in the town in 1747. The new synagogue was built in the Classicist style in 1792-1794 from stone...
