Great Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Hrodna, Belarus.
The Great Synagogue in Hrodna combines Gothic Revival and Moorish architectural elements in a distinctive structure. It stands prominently on Vialikaja Trajeckaja Street with a facade that catches the eye as you walk through the neighborhood.
A wooden structure built between 1576 and 1580 by architect Santi Gucci stood on this site before burning down in 1617. Following this loss, the building was reconstructed several times, with the current stone structure completed in 1905.
The synagogue served as the heart of Hrodna's Jewish community, where merchants, craftsmen, and scholars gathered for worship and study. Visitors can sense how deeply this place was embedded in the city's social fabric.
The building is open to visitors but remains active for regular worship services, so it is wise to check public visiting hours beforehand. Respect that you are entering an active place of prayer when you visit.
The building survived the Nazi occupation of the 1940s and decades of Soviet control that followed. It was returned to the Jewish community in 1991 when Belarus gained independence, allowing the space to resume its original religious purpose.
