	The Old-New Synagogue in Josefov - Altneuschul in old Jewish quarter in Prague
		The Old-New Synagogue on Maiselova Street in Josefov, the old Jewish quarter of Prague, is the oldest synagogue in Europe that is still in use as a house of prayer.
		This synagogue got its strange name, Altneuschul, which is German for old-new-school because at the time that it was completed in 1275, it was the Neuschul or New Synagogue, but by the 16th century when other new synagogues were built in Prague, it became the Altneuschul or Old-New Synagogue.
		This is the synagogue which Franz Kafka, the famous writer, attended when he lived in Prague; his bar mitzvah was held in the Old-New Synagogue.
