Synagogue de Hegedűs Gyula utca, Neologist synagogue in Budapest, Hungary
The synagogue on Hegedűs Gyula Street is a brick building with large windows and geometric patterns that reflect early 20th century design. Its interior shows clean lines and functional layouts typical of Neologist temples from this period.
Architect Béla Vajda designed it in 1911 and Lipót Baumhorn supervised its completion between 1911 and 1927. It was built during a period when Budapest was rapidly modernizing and expanding its Jewish facilities.
The synagogue reflects the spirit of Neologist Judaism, a movement that blended traditional Jewish practices with modern approaches. You can see how Budapest's Jewish community adapted to its era while maintaining its roots.
The building is located in Budapest's Újlipótváros district and is easily reached by public transportation. Keep in mind it is an active place of worship, so respectful behavior is expected from visitors.
It was one of the last major Jewish construction projects completed in Hungary before World War II. The building survived the war years and stands today as a witness to a thriving Jewish culture that was nearly destroyed in the city.
