Synagoga Maharszala w Lublinie, 16th century synagogue in Lublin, Poland
The Maharszal Synagogue, constructed in 1567, stood on the northern slope of Castle Hill and could accommodate over 3000 worshippers at once.
King Sigismund II Augustus granted permission for its construction, and Dr. Izaak Maj provided the financial support to establish this Jewish religious center.
The synagogue contained separate prayer halls for men and women, along with community offices and the first yeshiva of Lublin.
A memorial plaque marks the former location of the synagogue, which was demolished in the 1950s to make way for the Millennium Avenue.
The original velvet parochet from the Maharszal Synagogue remains preserved and is currently displayed in the synagogue of Bielsko-Biala.
