Synagogue of Lausanne, Jewish temple in central Lausanne, Switzerland
The Synagogue of Lausanne exhibits Romano-Byzantine architecture with two towers, featuring a rose window shaped as the Star of David on its facade.
The construction of the synagogue started in 1909 after receiving funds from French merchant Daniel Iffla, leading to its inauguration in November 1910.
The synagogue interior contains dedicated spaces for men and women, galleries along the nave, and stained glass windows created by artist Jean Prahin.
The religious structure maintains daily services in an underground room and regular Shabbat celebrations for the Jewish community of Lausanne and Vaud canton.
The total expenditure for land acquisition and construction reached 280,000 francs, marking substantial investment in Lausanne's Jewish heritage.
