Synagoge Zürich Löwenstrasse

The Löwenstrasse Synagogue features pointed arches and decorative elements characteristic of Gothic Revival architecture, constructed entirely from brick materials in central Zürich.

Built in 1884, this synagogue marked a significant period when Jewish residents received permission to establish permanent religious institutions in Zürich after centuries of restrictions.

The synagogue maintains an active choir of twenty-four singers who perform during religious services and celebrations throughout the year at this Orthodox Jewish center.

Located at Löwenstrasse 12 intersection with Nüschelerstrasse 36, the synagogue provides regular prayer services and educational programs for its 2,500 community members.

The building houses a substantial library collection of 50,000 volumes in Yiddish, Hebrew, and German languages, recognized as a Swiss heritage site.
