Wolf Popper Synagogue, Baroque synagogue in Kazimierz, Poland.
The Wolf Popper Synagogue is a Baroque structure on Szeroka Street featuring traditional Jewish architectural details throughout its interior. The space displays ornate wooden elements, an intricately carved prayer platform, and preserved furnishings from its original design.
Built in 1620 by a prosperous cloth merchant, it became an important gathering place for the local Jewish community. World War II brought severe destruction, but later restoration allowed the building to serve new purposes after the war.
The building now serves as a cultural center where exhibitions explore the Jewish community that once thrived in this neighborhood. Visitors can see displays and artworks that reflect on daily life and traditions from centuries past.
The building sits on Szeroka Street in the heart of Kazimierz, making it simple to reach on foot from nearby areas. Since it functions as a cultural center, opening hours may vary depending on events or programs happening inside.
The original Arabesque doors were removed and taken to the Wolfson Museum in Jerusalem, where they remain on display. This dispersal of architectural elements reflects how pieces of the region's Jewish heritage ended up in collections across the world.
