Lekstraatsynagoge, Rijksmonument synagogue in Rivierenbuurt, Netherlands
The Lekstraatsynagoge features a U-shaped design with natural stone panels, connecting two rectangular volumes through a central link beneath flat roofs.
Built between 1936 and 1937 by architect A. Elzas, the synagogue underwent renovations in 1984-1985 to expand its prayer room capacity to 160 people.
The synagogue maintains Hebrew inscriptions on its blind facade and contains marble-clad walls with religious texts in the former main prayer hall.
Daily prayer services follow specific schedules, with Shacharit at 7:00 on weekdays and adjusted times of 8:30 in winter and 8:45 in summer.
The building incorporates copper chandeliers designed by A. Elzas and features gardens with wrought iron fencing along both Lekstraat and Kinderdijkstraat sides.
