Úštěk Synagogue
Úštěk Synagogue (, , ) is an 18th century Jewish synagogue, located in the town of Úštěk, in the Litoměřice District of the Ústí nad Labem Region, in the Czech Republic.

It has served as the region's Jewish museum since 2014, as well as an active place of worship of the tiny local Jewish community. History The modest, Baroque synagogue is made of sandstone from a nearby quarry. The current structure was built shortly after the previous building was destroyed in a fire in 1793. It was in use until the Second World War. It survived the war, but the adjacent houses were torn down and the synagogue was allowed to deteriorate during the post-war period. The roof decayed, and the interior furnishings were burned. The building was renovated by the Czech Jewish Federation in a project that began in 1995–2003 and 2010–2014. The synagogue was re- ...

Gable
A gable is the generally triangular portion of a wall between the edges of intersecting roof pitches. The shape of the gable and how it is detailed depends on the structural system used, which reflects climate, material availability, and aesthetic concerns. The term gable wall or gable end more commonly refers to the entire wall, including the gable and the wall below it. Some types of roof do not have a gable (for example hip roofs do not). One common type of roof with gables, the 'gable roof', is named after its prominent gables. A parapet made of a series of curves (shaped gable, see also Dutch gable) or horizontal steps (crow-stepped gable) may hide the diagonal lines of the roof. Gable ends of more recent buildings are often treated in the same way as the Classic pediment form. But unlike Classical structures, which operate through post and lintel, trabeation, the gable ends of many buildings are actually bearing-wall structures. Gable style is also used in the design of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
