Synagogue de Neuilly, Byzantine Revival synagogue in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France
Synagogue de Neuilly is a place of worship with Byzantine Revival design elements located on rue Ancelle in western Paris. The building features a central dome and cross-shaped floor plan that draws from Eastern European religious architecture.
The building was constructed in 1878 under architect Émile Ullmann and was significantly expanded in 1937 by Germain Debré and Julien Hirsch. These two phases of growth show how the congregation developed over nearly 6 decades.
The congregation shifted from Ashkenazi to Sephardic traditions, reflecting how the local Jewish community evolved over generations. You can sense this history in the way services and gatherings are conducted today.
The site is open for regular prayer services and community events throughout the year. Before visiting, check the service schedules and dress respectfully as it remains an active place of worship.
A memorial plaque on the building's facade honors local residents who were killed during the Holocaust, including Rabbi Robert Meyers and his family. This quiet mark of remembrance is something many visitors encounter when they first arrive.
