Second Volgograd Synagogue, Choral synagogue in Voroshilovskiy District, Russia
The Second Volgograd Synagogue is a brick prayer house on Balahinskaia Street that combines eclectic, Moorish Revival, and Art Nouveau design elements. Its layout separates the main worship space on the lower level from administrative rooms above.
The building rose in 1911 as the Jewish community in Tsaritsyn was expanding. War damage was addressed through major restoration work completed in the late 1990s.
The synagogue maintains regular religious services following Nusach Ashkenaz traditions while supporting educational initiatives through its Jewish day school program.
The building sits in the Voroshilovskiy neighborhood and can be found using the Balahinskaia Street address. Visitors should be aware of religious protocols before entering and should check opening times in advance.
The building holds official status as an architectural monument of regional significance. This designation reflects the rarity of its mixed architectural styles within Volgograd.
