Synagoge, Protected religious building in Lunéville, France

The synagogue exhibits a pink sandstone facade with carved grapevine garlands and features a separate entrance door designated for children.

Built in 1786 during the reign of Louis XVI, this synagogue marks the second Jewish place of worship constructed in France after the 1394 expulsion.

The original French inscription on the facade was replaced with a Hebrew verse from the Book of Kings to represent Jewish religious identity.

The synagogue, located at 5 rue Castara, remains accessible for visits while maintaining respect for private areas and religious functions.

The building design by architect Augustin-Charles Piroux resembles a Louis XVI pavilion without traditional Jewish symbols to maintain discretion.
