Synagogue de Lille, Ashkenazi synagogue in Lille, France

The synagogue features a 17-meter-long nave supported by twelve cast iron pillars representing the twelve Jewish tribes.

Completed in 1891 by architect Théophile-Albert Hannotin, the synagogue survived World War II when German forces used it to store military equipment.

The building's facade displays the Tables of the Law and stork couples on pilasters, reflecting the Alsatian origins of the Jewish community.

The synagogue reopened in January 2022 after three years of restoration work that restored its original 1891 appearance.

The synagogue maintains its original furniture designed by architect Hannotin, making it one of the few synagogues in France with such preservation.
