Włodawa Synagogue#Włodawa Great Synagogue, Baroque synagogue in Włodawa, Poland.

The Great Synagogue features a three-tiered copper roof, high-ceilinged sanctuary, and detailed wall paintings incorporating Jewish and Polish designs.

Built between 1764 and 1774 by architect Paolo Fontana, this structure replaced an earlier wooden synagogue that dated from 1684.

The Torah Ark displays detailed carvings of musical instruments and references to the Temple of Solomon, representing Jewish artistic traditions.

The synagogue now functions as part of a museum complex alongside two other buildings: the Small Synagogue and the Jewish administrative office.

The building survived World War II intact and maintains its original architectural elements, including flanking wings similar to Polish noble residences.
