Synagogue, Jewish house of worship in Delémont, Switzerland.
The synagogue stands in a residential area of Delémont, featuring traditional architectural elements and a defined prayer space for religious gatherings.
Built in 1911 outside the old town walls, the synagogue served Alsatian Jewish merchants and tailors who established their community in Delémont.
The synagogue maintains its status as a class B Swiss cultural property, representing the last remaining Jewish religious structure in Canton Jura.
Religious services ceased in the 1980s due to declining membership, leading to the creation of a preservation foundation in June 1999.
A documentary film 'A Synagogue in the Hills' captures the stories of the last community members, including Robert Lévy and five other individuals.
