Trakai Kenesa, Wooden synagogue in Trakai, Lithuania.
The Trakai Kenesa stands at 30 Karaimų Street with a rectangular layout, covered by a hipped roof and featuring an octagonal dome ceiling painted in blue.
Built in 1894, the Trakai Kenesa replaced previous structures that were destroyed by fires, including one in 1824 that led to the construction of this wooden building.
The Kenesa serves as a worship house for the Karaite community, with separate areas for men and women, following strict adherence to Old Testament teachings.
Visitors can view the building exterior while exploring Trakai, as the interior remains closed to the general public except during special occasions.
This religious structure contains ten windows with arc-shaped stained glass and includes a traditional washbasin in the porch for ceremonial cleaning before services.
