Wörlitz Synagogue, Neoclassical synagogue in Oranienbaum-Wörlitz, Germany.
The Wörlitz Synagogue features twelve pilasters on its exterior and a cone-shaped roof with round windows beneath the roofline.
Duke Leopold III of Anhalt-Dessau ordered the construction of the synagogue in 1790, demonstrating his commitment to religious tolerance in the region.
The synagogue transformed into a Jewish museum in 2003, preserving the history of the local Jewish community through exhibitions and artifacts.
Visitors can access the synagogue through local heritage organizations and explore both the main floor and the basement containing a ritual bath.
The building design mirrors the Temple of Vesta in Tivoli, Italy, incorporating dual entrances and six Doric columns supporting a semicircular gallery.
