Synagoge, Arnhem

Synagoge, Arnhem is a house of worship built in the classical Dutch style, located in central Arnhem with ornate architectural features and decorative stained glass elements. The structure occupies a prominent position in the city center and displays the detailed stonework and design typical of 19th-century religious buildings.

The building was constructed in 1853 based on designs by city architect Heuvelink and has served the local Jewish community since then. After suffering damage during World War II, it underwent restoration and reopened for worship in 1950.

The synagogue maintains regular religious services following Torah traditions while functioning as an educational center about Jewish heritage in the Netherlands.

The building is located in central Arnhem and can be visited, with guided tours available by arrangement. Visitors can learn about the history and significance of the Jewish community in the area.

Before World War II, roughly 1600 Jewish residents lived in Arnhem, but only a few hundred returned after the war ended. This building stands today as a quiet monument to the resumption of religious life after major loss.
