Wolf Popper Synagogue, Baroque synagogue in Kazimierz, Poland.

The Wolf Popper Synagogue features stone construction and traditional Jewish architectural elements, including an ornate prayer platform and detailed wooden furnishings.

Founded in 1620 by wealthy cloth merchant Wolf Popper, the synagogue served the Jewish community until its decline following severe damage during World War II.

The building now functions as the Old Town Youth Cultural Centre, offering educational programs and art studios focused on Jewish history and traditions.

Located at 16 Szeroka Street, the synagogue maintains regular opening hours for visitors to explore its preserved architectural features and historical exhibits.

The synagogue's original Arabesque doors were relocated to the Wolfson Museum in Jerusalem, preserving a portion of its historical elements abroad.
