Soldier Synagogue in Tomsk, Jewish religious structure in Tomsk, Russia.

The Soldier Synagogue stands as a wooden religious structure at 56 degrees north latitude, featuring windows decorated with Stars of David motifs.

Jewish Cantonists, who served 25 years in the Russian military, established this synagogue in 1865 after completing their mandatory service.

The building represents one of the remaining wooden synagogues in the world, incorporating specific architectural elements from nineteenth-century religious structures.

Located on Turgenevskaia Street, the synagogue requires structural assessment and renovation work to address its current deteriorated condition.

The entrance door of the synagogue incorporates design elements that mirror the appearance of a traditional Torah scroll.
