Synagogue in Bobowa, 18th century synagogue in Bobowa, Poland

The rectangular stone synagogue features a four-sided roof, central prayer hall, and wooden extension that originally served as a women's section.

Built in 1756 near the market square, the synagogue experienced significant damage during a fire in 1889 and underwent complete renovation afterward.

The synagogue interior contains polychrome decorations from 1777-1778, displaying plant motifs, animal designs, and paintings of Jerusalem on its walls.

The building functions as both a religious center for Hasidic pilgrimages and houses a permanent Jewish museum with a lace workshop inside.

During World War II, the Germans transformed the synagogue into a horse stable, leading to years of abandonment before its restoration in 1955.
