The Synagogue in Lendava is one of the three synagogues that remained in Slovenia. Along with Maribor Synagogue, one of the oldest synagogues in Europe, the Lendava Synagogue (built in the 18th Century) functions as a historical heritage and a cultural centre. The third synagogue, the smaller praying centre at the Ljubljana Town Hall, serves for religous religious purposes.


In the past the Lendava Synagogue functioned as religious centre for Jews from the Prekmurje region. It had room for about 150 worshippers, next to the synagogue there was a Jewish school and a residence for the rabbi. The former School was demolished in the end of the 90s.

Today the cultural and art programme in the Synagogue is managed by the Lendava-Lendva Institute for Culture and Promotion (ZKPL-MPIL). It serves as a venue for concerts and exhibitions, currently there is an exhibition devoted to the history of Jews in the Lendava region.
