Tykocin Synagogue, Baroque synagogue in Tykocin, Poland.

The synagogue features a tall Renaissance frame, a Baroque roof, and interior walls covered with Hebrew texts and decorative paintings.

Built in 1642, the synagogue served the Jewish community until 1939, when German forces converted it into a warehouse during their occupation.

The main prayer hall contains a central bimah, decorative frescoes depicting animals, and intricate Hebrew inscriptions covering the walls.

Located at 2 Kozia Street, the synagogue museum receives 40,000 visitors annually and displays exhibits about Jewish religious traditions.

The structure maintains its original 17th-century architectural elements, including the Torah Ark and ceiling designs from the Mannerist period.
