Nová Cerekev: Hotels and Accommodations

The Nová Cerekev Synagogue was built in 1855 in the Neo-Romanesque style with Oriental elements and reopened to the public in 2014 after many years of restoration work.

Culture and Townscape

The Jewish cemetery in Nová Cerekev contains a gravestone dating from 1692. The new section of the cemetery was expanded in 1866 with a Neo-Gothic ceremonial hall; the burial site of the modern painter Alfred Justitz is also located here.

The present-day Church of Saint Thomas Becket in Nová Cerekev was built in the Baroque style between 1750 and 1760. Characteristic 17th-century stone pillar shrines decorate the square in front of the church.

The houses on the north side of Rubešova Street in Nová Cerekev have largely retained their original form and, together with the synagogue, form a distinctive urban ensemble. In the northern part of the square, opposite house no. 43, there is a simple octagonal stone fountain that forms a distinctive design element of the municipality.
