Synagogue de Neuilly, Byzantine Revival synagogue in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France

The synagogue displays a centered dome and cross plan layout at 12 rue Ancelle, incorporating architectural elements from Eastern European religious buildings.

Built in 1878 under architect Émile Ullmann's direction, the synagogue underwent a major expansion in 1937 led by Germain Debré and Julien Hirsch.

The congregation transformed from following Ashkenazi traditions to embracing Sephardic practices, reflecting the evolution of the local Jewish community over time.

The synagogue maintains regular prayer services and hosts community gatherings, with Rabbi Michael Azoulay leading the congregation since 2009.

A memorial plaque on the facade commemorates Neuilly's Jewish residents who perished during the Holocaust, including Rabbi Robert Meyers and his wife.
