Synagogue de Colmar, 19th-century synagogue in Colmar, France.
The rectangular building features a neoclassical front section on its western facade and contains an opaque glass pyramid that diffuses interior light according to sunlight patterns.
Construction of this fourth synagogue in Colmar took place between 1839 and 1842, following the destruction of three previous structures in 1279, 1349, and 1512.
The polygonal sanctuary includes Ionic columns and an aron-ha-kodesh topped with a rose window, where the Torah scrolls are preserved.
The synagogue, located at 3 Cigogne Street, received historical monument status in 1984 and regularly welcomes guided tours.
This synagogue stands apart from other religious buildings in Alsace with its small bell tower and Kabbalistic esoteric symbols on the facade.
