Synagogue, Groningen, Rijksmonument synagogue in Folkingestraat, Groningen, Netherlands.
The synagogue features Moorish architectural elements with tall windows, brick facades, and decorative stone details designed by architect Tjeerd Kuipers in 1906.
The Jewish population in Groningen grew from 50 people in 1700 to 2,700 members at the start of the 20th century, leading to this synagogue's construction.
The building hosts exhibitions about Jewish traditions, including displays about religious practices, community life, and educational programs for students learning about Judaism.
Located at Folkingestraat 60, the synagogue opens Tuesday through Friday and Sunday from 13:00 to 17:00, with adult admission costing 3 euros.
