Mały Rynek (Small Market Square), Kazimierz Dolny
Highlight • Settlement
This square served as a market square, although the name Mały Rynek was not used in city records, because the term "Rynek" referred only to the main square. In 1627, there were 27 houses here, and in 1689, a wooden house was mentioned at the back of Paweł Antoni Radomski's tenement house. In the 18th century, it was surrounded by wooden Jewish houses, and a wooden synagogue and a Jewish school were located nearby. There was also a brewery on the square.
The wooden buildings were partially destroyed during World War I, and completely during World War II. The name Mały Rynek was not established until the interwar period.

Former Synagogue and Museum of Jewish History
Highlight • Religious Site
The synagogue in the late Baroque style was built of limestone, and its plan is a rectangle measuring 14.8 x 16.9 m. The interior initially consisted only of the main prayer hall, with prayer rooms for women and other rooms added over time. The interior was decorated with polychromes, the plant and animal motifs of which have been described by researchers, although they have not survived today.
The synagogue was in operation until 1939, when it was closed by the Germans. It was devastated in 1944 and fell into ruin after the war. In 1953 it was rebuilt as a cinema, and the interior was adapted to new functions. In 2003 the cinema was closed.
Today there is a small museum and a shop with Judaisms.

Historic well on the Market Square in Kazimierz Dolny
Highlight • Monument
The city with about 3,600 inhabitants is picturesquely located on the breakthrough of the Vistula from the Lublin and the Lesser Polish highlands. Because of the trade routes that were bundled there, the settlement soon became an important merchant town in the 12th century, in which many Jewish families also settled. Magnificent palaces were built in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The rule of the Swedes and the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War made the city impoverished, so much of the old substance was preserved. Today the old town on a terrace over the Vistula is a little gem.
A little tip: In the middle of the market place under a wooden shoring, you can fill up fresh drinking water free of charge 🤗
