Great Synagogue in Kraśnik, Synagogue monument in Kraśnik, Poland.

The Great Synagogue stands with a square layout of 20 by 22 meters, featuring brick and stone construction with a hipped mansard roof covered in shingles.

The synagogue was built in 1637 following the destruction of a wooden predecessor, and German forces damaged its interior at the start of World War II.

The synagogue provided separate prayer spaces for 300 men in the main hall and 400 women in the two-story northern section added in the 18th century.

The Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage manages the synagogue, and visitors need to arrange their visits through the organization in advance.

The building contains remnants of painted decorations from 1875, which were covered when the structure functioned as a warehouse after World War II.
