The courtyard of Kazinczy utca 16, in Budapest’s Jewish district, may appear somewhat derelict from this viewpoint. However, the side of the building on the left, which serves as a mikveh (a Jewish ritual bath), underwent renovation a few years ago, and you can admire its interesting facade when walking on Kazinczy utca.
The mikveh was constructed in 1928 on a plot owned by the Autonomous Orthodox Jewish Community of Hungary and is still operated by them. The building was designed by Henrik Böhm and Ármin Hegedűs. Today, it stands as the only operational mikveh in Budapest.
