Synagoge, Jewish heritage monument in Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands
The Synagoge is a prayer house with a main hall on the ground floor and an elevated gallery with a balustrade for worshippers. Beneath the structure lie medieval cellars that house two ritual baths used for purification practices.
King Willem I provided substantial support in 1830 for the construction of this building to serve the local Jewish community. It remained an active place of worship and gathering until 1940.
The building holds traditional Jewish religious elements such as the bima platform and the Holy Ark that shaped worship for the local community. These fixtures show how generations gathered here to observe their faith and practices.
The building is open to visitors and offers guided tours during specific periods throughout the year. Check ahead for current opening times and visit conditions before planning your trip.
The medieval cellars beneath the building contain two distinct ritual baths: one made of marble for men and another for women, along with water wells and heating systems. This spatial separation reveals how religious practices were physically organized in this space.
