Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation, Orthodox synagogue in Lansdowne, Bournemouth, England
The synagogue building combines Art Nouveau and Moorish Revival styles with a square dome, curvilinear roof line, and horseshoe-arched windows at its facade.
Albert Samuel laid the cornerstone of the synagogue in 1911, marking the establishment of a permanent Jewish place of worship in Bournemouth.
The Torah Ark features a mosaic design inspired by the Biblical columns Boaz and Jachin from the Temple of Solomon.
The congregation maintains a community shop that provides kosher food supplies and organizes regular services during weekdays, Shabbat, and Jewish holidays.
An expansion between 1957 and 1962 introduced a barrel-vaulted interior with a ladies' gallery and a new entrance to accommodate the growing community.
