Stadttempel, Neoclassical synagogue in Innere Stadt, Austria
The Stadttempel synagogue features an oval interior with twelve Ionic columns supporting a two-tiered women's gallery beneath a central lantern-illuminated dome.
The construction of the synagogue between 1824 and 1826 followed Emperor Joseph II's regulations, requiring non-Catholic places of worship to remain hidden from street view.
This central synagogue hosts religious services, ceremonies, and gatherings for the 7,000 members of the Viennese Jewish community throughout the year.
Visitors must register three days in advance with a passport copy and undergo security checks before entering the synagogue at Seitenstettengasse 4.
The synagogue remained the only Jewish place of worship that survived World War II in Vienna due to its integration within residential buildings.
