Launceston Synagogue, Egyptian Revival synagogue in Launceston, Australia
The Launceston Synagogue features a trapezoidal facade with a Star of David window and maintains its original architectural elements from 1846.
Built by the Launceston Hebrew Congregation after borrowing £500, the synagogue served as a place of worship from 1846 until 1871 and again during the 1930s.
The synagogue represents Australia's second-oldest Jewish place of worship and stands as the oldest non-Christian religious building in Launceston.
Located at 126 St John Street, the synagogue operates during holy days and special events, with services coordinated through the local Jewish community.
The National Trust of Australia manages the building's preservation since 1989, ensuring the maintenance of its Egyptian Revival architectural characteristics.
