Synagogue de Thann, Jewish synagogue in Thann, France.

The synagogue features Neo-Byzantine architecture with ornate decorations, a central dome, and stained glass windows illuminating the prayer hall.

Built in 1862 on the site of a former prayer house, the synagogue experienced damage during World War I and was converted into a welfare office during Nazi occupation.

The building incorporates Hispano-Moorish design elements that connect to the Jewish heritage of medieval Spain and North African architectural traditions.

The Friends of the Synagogue Association conducts regular renovations, including recent repairs to the roof, dome, and stained glass windows.

Archaeological excavations in 2014 revealed a mikveh dating from 1860, adding to the site's historical significance as a Jewish religious complex.
