Slonim Synagogue, Baroque synagogue in Slonim, Belarus.
The synagogue features a steep gabled roof, intricate exterior decorations, and interior walls covered with painted murals depicting musical instruments and biblical scenes.
Built in 1642 during a period of Jewish prosperity, the synagogue served as a central religious institution until World War II decimated the local population.
The structure stands as the most complete example of traditional Jewish religious architecture in Belarus, representing centuries of Eastern European Jewish traditions.
The synagogue building, recently purchased at auction for 42 Belarusian rubles in 2024, requires extensive structural repairs and interior restoration work.
The synagogue walls contain preserved paintings of animal figures, Hebrew texts, and decorative patterns that showcase 17th-century Jewish artistic expressions.
