Synagoga Maharszala w Lublinie, 16th century synagogue in Lublin, Poland
Description
The Maharszal Synagogue in Lublin was a large Jewish place of worship built in the late 1500s. The structure was located at a prominent site and could hold large numbers of people at the same time.
History
Royal permission was granted for construction, and a wealthy supporter provided the funds to establish this place of worship for the Jewish community. The building was demolished in the middle of the 20th century to make room for new roads.
Culture
The building served as a gathering place for the Jewish community and featured distinct prayer sections for men and women. This arrangement reflected religious practices that shaped daily life for worshippers.
Practical
Today a memorial plaque marks where the building once stood and explains its importance. The location is easy to find in the city center, though the original structure no longer exists.
