Karaite kenesa in Feodosia, Religious building in Feodosia, Russia
The Karaite Kenesa features stone walls, traditional architectural elements, and interior spaces designed according to Karaite religious specifications for worship and gatherings.
Built in 1292, this religious structure stands as one of the earliest houses of worship for the Karaite Jewish community in the Crimean Peninsula.
The building reflects specific Karaite religious practices, which differ from mainstream Judaism through direct interpretation of the Torah without rabbinical traditions.
Visitors can access the kenesa through guided tours, which provide information about the building's architecture and the religious customs of the Karaite community.
The kenesa maintains original structural elements from the 13th century, making it among the oldest surviving Karaite religious buildings in the region.
