Synagogue de Liège, Religious monument in Liège, Belgium.
Description
The Synagogue de Liège is located at rue Léon Frédéricq 19 and features a mix of architectural elements that create an eclectic style from 1899. The building is organized with interior spaces designed to serve both religious purposes and community needs.
History
The Jewish community in Liège received formal recognition in 1876, which led to the construction of this building. The structure was designed by architect Joseph Rémont and reflects the community's growing presence in the city.
Culture
The interior contains memorials to Holocaust victims and Resistance fighters, honoring the lived experiences of the local Jewish community across different generations. These dedicated spaces tell the stories of people who made this place their home.
Practical
The building has been temporarily closed to visitors since 2022 due to construction work and structural concerns in neighboring buildings. It is advisable to check the current status before planning a visit, as restoration work remains ongoing.

In 1811 only around 24 Jews lived in Liège, but by World War II the community had grown to about 3,000 members from Dutch, German, and Eastern European origins. This rapid expansion shows how the city became a refuge and home for people from different backgrounds.
