The Maisel Synagogue is a historic synagogue located in the Jewish Quarter of Prague, Czech Republic. Built in 1592 by the prominent Jewish financier Mordechai Maisel, who was the mayor of the Jewish Town, the synagogue originally served as a private place of worship for the Maisel family. It was constructed in the Renaissance style, although it has undergone several reconstructions, particularly after a devastating fire in 1689 and during the 19th century when it was rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style. Today, the Maisel Synagogue is part of the Jewish Museum in Prague and serves as an exhibition space that details the history of Jews in the Czech lands from the 10th to the 18th century.
