More information

The Lendava Synagogue is one of the preserved monuments of the once-thriving Jewish community, which was a driving force behind the development of Lendava until the Second World War. After decades of decline, the synagogue was renovated in the 1990s and today serves as an exhibition and event space. Since its opening in 2002, the Lendava Synagogue has played a significant role in raising awareness of the Jewish identity of Lendava and the surrounding region. Since 2013, it has also been the central Slovenian Holocaust museum. The gallery spaces feature a permanent museum exhibition on Judaism in Prekmurje, while the ground floor hosts a permanent display of the series of 52 prints titled "Scrolls of Fire" by Israeli artist Dan Reisinger, which he donated to the Municipality of Lendava.

Lendava Castle Lendava Castle stands above the old part of the town on a steep hill rising amidst picturesque wine-growing hills. The castle in its current form succeeded a medieval castle that once stood on this very site. The original castle was built in the 12th century, as suggested by the frescoes in the castle chapel. Over the years, the castle underwent several transformations, particularly during the rule of the Bánffy family. During that time, the area was ravaged by Turkish invasions, but the Turks never managed to capture Lendava Castle. The castle suffered significant damage during these attacks, so in 1712, the last owners, the noble Esterházy family, restored and rebuilt it in the shape of the letter L as a gesture of gratitude to Emperor Leopold I. The castle underwent its last major renovation in the 19th century when it was thoroughly restored. Today, it houses the Lendava Gallery-Museum, established in 1973. The gallery's collection preserves the artistic heritage of Lendava's artists and a collection of artworks created during traditional international art colonies. In recent years, Lendava Castle has hosted prominent exhibitions of world-renowned art giants, including displays by Pablo Picasso, Francisco de Goya, Rembrandt, and Joan Miró.

Theatre and Concert Hall Lendava

The magnificent building of the Theatre and Concert Hall Lendava was constructed in 2004 and is the work of renowned Hungarian architect Imre Makovecz, internationally recognised as a proponent of organic architecture. For its construction, he chose natural materials and incorporated elements of the town's history and mythology into the building's details and structure. The hall spans 1,400 m2 and offers 2,400 m2 of interior usable space. With 444 seats, a large stage, and professional equipment, it is suitable for hosting all types of theatre, music, and dance events, as well as conferences and seminars. The building also houses a café. The ground floor and gallery of the foyer are adorned with sculptures by local visual artist and academic sculptor Ferenc Király. The foyer is a pleasant space for socialising, receptions, and other ceremonial events at exhibition openings. With views of the church, castle, and synagogue, it offers passers-by a true cultural experience.
