Rouyn-Noranda Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Rouyn-Noranda, Canada.

The brick building features neo-Romanesque architecture with elliptical windows and the Star of David symbol prominently displayed on its facade.

The Rouyn-Noranda Hebrew Congregation constructed this synagogue in 1948, replacing an earlier wooden structure from 1932 that served the local Jewish community.

The inscription Beit Knesset Israel on the facade, meaning House of Assembly of Israel, reflects the religious identity of the Jewish congregation.

The synagogue ceased religious services in 1972 due to declining Jewish population and was subsequently transformed into residential property in 1979.

The synagogue members used the Krugerdorf cemetery for burials since no Jewish cemetery was established in Noranda.
