Synagogue, Religious landmark in Lengnau, Switzerland
The synagogue stands on elevated ground with a prominent clock and steeple, incorporating architectural elements required by Swiss authorities in the nineteenth century.
Ferdinand Stadler designed the current synagogue between 1846 and 1849, replacing an original structure from 1750 when Jews received permission to establish religious buildings.
The synagogue represents one of two locations where Jewish communities maintained religious practices in Switzerland until federal constitutional changes in 1866.
Regular guided tours of the synagogue provide insights into Jewish heritage, with advance reservations available through the local tourism office.
The building features two separate entrance doors, reflecting historical regulations that required physical separation between Jewish and Christian residents.
