The Pińczów Synagogue, also known as the Old Synagogue in Pińczów, is an historic former Jewish synagogue building, located in Tykocin, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland. The synagogue was completed in 1609 in the Renaissance style.
History
[edit]It is one of the oldest synagogues in Poland, built between 1594 and 1609.[2] It was damaged during the Holocaust, which led to its disuse. Restoration on the building began in the 1970s, led by the Pińczów Regional Museum, with most of the repairs completed by 1998.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
