Synagogue of Dijon, Jewish temple in Dijon, France
The Synagogue of Dijon is a protected historical monument with two prominent towers rising from its front facade. The building displays large decorative windows and geometric patterns carved into its stone walls.
The building was constructed between 1873 and 1879 under the design of architect Alfred Sirodot. Its construction responded to the growing Jewish population in the region during that period.
The building serves as a gathering place for Dijon's Jewish community where religious celebrations and prayers take place. You can see how the space remains active in the daily life of the local Jewish population.
To enter the building, you should arrange your visit in advance with the local Jewish community organization. Checking ahead about access arrangements is important since the space is primarily used for community activities.
The building was designed following the model of the Rue de la Victoire synagogue in Paris and shares many architectural features with that Parisian structure. This connection shows how design styles traveled between French cities in the 1800s.
