Synagogue de la Paix, Modern synagogue in Contades district, Strasbourg, France
The Synagogue de la Paix features twelve concrete pillars in its main nave, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, accommodating 1,658 worshippers.
Built between 1954 and 1958, this synagogue replaced the previous one on Quai Kleber that Nazi forces destroyed in September 1940.
The synagogue functions as both a religious center and community hub, offering educational programs and hosting the Consistory of Strasbourg.
Regular religious services take place in the main hall, while additional spaces include prayer rooms, meeting areas, and facilities for youth activities.
The building combines contemporary architectural elements with traditional Jewish symbolism, earning recognition as twentieth-century French heritage.
