Synagoge Turnergasse, Jewish synagogue in Turnergasse Street, Vienna, Austria

The Synagoge Turnergasse was built in 1871 following Italian Renaissance architecture with a capacity for 496 men and 333 women.

During the November 1938 pogrom, the synagogue was destroyed by fire, making it one of 92 Vienna synagogues that did not survive.

Maria Altmann, the heir to Gustav Klimt's paintings, celebrated her wedding ceremony at this synagogue before its destruction.

The former synagogue site, located at Turnergasse 22 in Vienna's 15th district, now features a memorial plaque installed in 1988.

Between 1976 and 1979, residential buildings were constructed on the former community house plot, while the synagogue area remained undeveloped.
