Wielka Synagoga w Toruniu, 19th century synagogue in Toruń, Poland
Built in 1847, the synagogue featured a neoclassical facade with Tuscan columns and a square floor plan measuring 18.87 by 16.95 meters.
The Jewish community of Toruń constructed the synagogue during a period when they gained equal civil rights under Prussian monarchy.
The main prayer hall contained an ornate Aron ha-kodesh on the eastern wall and included a women's gallery supported by ten columns.
German forces demolished the synagogue between October 1939 and February 1940, with the rubble distributed to local farmers near Toruń.
A commemorative plaque installed on October 18, 1993, marks the location where the synagogue once stood at Szczytna Street 10/12.
