Synagogue of Bergheim, Jewish synagogue in Bergheim, France.

The synagogue features neo-Romanesque architecture with rounded arches, circular windows, and twin side aisles separated by central arcades.

The current building, constructed between 1860 and 1863, replaced an earlier synagogue that burned down in 1840 after serving the community since 1300.

The building includes a women's gallery with removable desks and retains painted decorations that emphasize its architectural forms.

Located on Rue des Juifs in Bergheim, the synagogue received historical monument status in 1990 and underwent exterior restoration in 2000.

The synagogue remained the sole religious building in the region to survive the 1349 persecutions when local Jewish communities faced widespread destruction.
