Synagogue of Pakruojis, Wooden synagogue in Pakruojis, Lithuania
The synagogue building features architectural elements combining Lithuanian folk traditions with elements of Baroque and Classical styles in its wooden construction.
The synagogue dates back to 1801 and served as both a religious center and primary school for the Jewish community until World War II.
The interior walls displayed traditional animal paintings including stags, lions, tigers, eagles, and a leviathan beneath the bima holding its tail.
Following restoration in 2017, the building now functions as a public bookshop and cultural venue with an exhibition about local Jewish history.
The decorative vault paintings documented in 1938 photographs showed rare elements for synagogues, including images of trains, elephants, and birds.
