The New Synagogue, sometimes referred to as the Neological Synagogue or Neolog Synagogue, is a former Neolog Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Žilina, Slovakia. Completed in 1931 to the designs of the German Modernist architect Peter Behrens, it was completed eight years before World War II, which almost obliterated the Jewish population of Slovakia, and it has been called "the last Slovak synagogue". Having been used for other purposes after World War II, it was restored between 2011 and 2017 to become an arts center.
