Kupa Synagogue, Baroque synagogue in Kazimierz district, Kraków, Poland.
The Kupa Synagogue is a Baroque building located in the Kazimierz district, near other historic Jewish structures. Its interior features large arched windows and a stone altar framed by pilasters in a rectangular layout.
It was built in 1643 with support from the goldsmiths guild, establishing a connection to local craftspeople. The building suffered severe damage during World War II but was later restored.
The ceiling paintings show views of Jerusalem and other holy sites, created in the 1920s to reflect the community's spiritual connection to these places. When you walk inside, you can see how these images shaped the way people experienced the space.
The entrance is on Warszauera Street and the best time to visit is in early afternoon when natural light illuminates the interior. Finding the building is straightforward, and the walk through the district offers other historic sites to explore.
The name comes from Hebrew and refers to a community fund used to finance its construction in the 17th century. This approach reveals how the local community worked together to build such an important structure.
