"This synagogue, which after the Old Synagogue was the second in the Jewish town, was at the beginning called the 'New Synagogue.' It was erected in 1553 at the eastern edge of a building lot, bought at that time by the Jewish Community to lay out a cemetery there." -- A Guide to Jewish Cracow (©1992 Our Roots.

The inscription over the door reads, "New Synagogue of the Late Rabbi Remuh."
