Synagogue, Moorish synagogue in Monbijou district, Bern, Switzerland.
The synagogue stands with its characteristic domed roof, geometric patterns, and tall windows on Kapellenstrasse near the city center.
The Jewish community constructed this religious building in 1906, following designs by architect Eduard Rybi after centuries of absence from medieval Bern.
The synagogue serves as the main gathering place for Jewish religious ceremonies, education programs, and community events in the Bern region.
The building includes an extension from 1971 that houses additional facilities for religious studies, celebrations, and administrative functions.
The structure represents the first permanent Jewish religious site in Bern since the community's expulsion in 1427.
