Already in 1680 the Jews had Terešov in a small chapel, which served also as a school. The last synagogue was built in the late 18th and early 19th century in the center of the village. Showed no significant stylistic elements but its Empire style romantic interior was extraordinary. It is a unique structure that was exposed to the women's gallery from all four sides of the prayer hall and aron ha-kodesh was placed between the four pillars with a canopy. At the end of the 19th century, Jews from Terešov began moving to larger cities, so in the early 20th century worship in the synagogue were held only on major holidays. At the beginning of the 30s the number of members of the Jewish community declined so much that the municipality was abolished and its perimeter was attached to the Jewish religious community in Rokycany. The synagogue was demolished in 1964. It has been drawn on the map Stable register from 1839.
