Synagogue, Szombathely, Neolog synagogue in Szombathely, Hungary

The synagogue features oriental-influenced architecture with distinctive onion-shaped domes on towers and multicolored brick exterior near the main town square

The Jewish community commissioned architect Ludwig Schöne to construct this religious building in 1880, with construction costs reaching 190,000 forints at the time

The synagogue represented the modernization of Jewish religious practices, with changes including the repositioning of the Bimah closer to the Eastern wall

The building now functions as a concert hall after the town acquired ownership in the 1960s and underwent exterior restoration in the early 2000s

The synagogue's facade was temporarily concealed behind an extension of the neighboring music school to mask its religious origins until recent renovations
