Great Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Hrodna, Belarus.
The Great Synagogue exhibits a combination of Gothic Revival elements and Moorish architectural features with a distinct facade on Vialikaja Trajeckaja Street.
The original wooden synagogue, constructed between 1576 and 1580 by Santi Gucci, burned down in 1617, leading to multiple reconstructions until the current structure of 1905.
The synagogue represents the legacy of Hrodna's Jewish community, which included merchants, craftsmen, doctors, and educators who shaped the city's development.
Following restoration efforts led by Rabbi Yitzchok Kofman in 1991, the synagogue maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in religious heritage.
The building survived the Nazi occupation of 1941 and Soviet control until 1991, when it returned to the Jewish community after Belarus gained independence.
