Why visit this place?

• From 1971 the library occupied the local synagogue; after the building was returned to the Jewish community in 2004 it moved to a new building, opened in 2008.
• The architecture also attracts filmmakers: a commercial featuring the American actress Catherine Zeta-Jones was shot here.
• Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 161 visitors on Google Maps.
• Besides the tour there are hands-on workshops, so children get to make something themselves.
• Allow roughly an hour and a half; the programme is aimed at every age group from preschool to secondary school.
• There are 76 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
