Weisenauer Synagogue Mainz, 18th-century synagogue in Weisenau district, Mainz, Germany.

The synagogue stands on Wormser Strasse with traditional architectural elements reflecting Jewish religious practices of its construction period.

Built in 1737, the Weisenauer Synagogue remains the sole Jewish house of worship in Mainz that endured through World War II without destruction.

The synagogue represents a period when Jewish residents constituted approximately twenty-five percent of Weisenau's population in the 18th century.

Visitors can explore the synagogue along with two ritual baths discovered in the front yard during restoration work completed in 1996.

The property contains two preserved Mikveh from different time periods, with one dating to the Baroque era and another from the 19th century.
