The synagogue in Banská Štiavnica was built in 1893. It is located at Novozámocká 5 in Banská Štiavnica. The synagogue itself consists of a vestibule and a main hall.

At present, it belongs to the city reserve of Banská Štiavnica and is also inscribed on the UNESCO list as well as on the List of National Cultural Monuments.
