Sedan Synagogue, Jewish place of worship in Sedan, France

Sedan Synagogue is a synagogue building from the late 19th century in the French city of Sedan. The facade displays decorative elements including the Tablets of Law and rosette patterns that form a Star of David.

The building was constructed in 1878 after Jewish refugees from Alsace-Lorraine arrived in Sedan following the Franco-German War of 1870. This migration created a stable community that established this building as its religious center.

The congregation followed the Ashkenazi rite, and Simon Debré, father of paediatrician Robert Debré, was its first rabbi, serving from 1880 to 1888. The building was abandoned after the community shrank, and in 2023 it was sold to the local council for use as an exhibition space.

The synagogue stands at 6 avenue de Verdun, at the start of the boulevard that runs about 2 km toward avenue Philippoteaux. The building was sold to the town council in 2023 for use as an exhibition space, so check locally whether it is open before planning a visit; the exterior, with its gabled stone front and iron fence, can be seen from the pavement.

The building was sold to the local council in 2023 for use as an exhibition space, after the congregation had dwindled and the synagogue was abandoned. It had been listed as a monument historique on 13 September 1984.
