New Synagogue in Leszno, Religious monument in Leszno, Poland.
The New Synagogue in Leszno is a religious building featuring Art Nouveau style elements including oval windows, a central tower, and decorative extensions. The structure was originally constructed between 1796 and 1799 and underwent significant renovation in 1905.
The building was constructed after a series of fires destroyed earlier wooden prayer houses at the site. It later served different purposes before being restored and opened as a museum displaying Jewish history.
The synagogue displays the Jewish heritage and community life of Leszno through its interior spaces and exhibitions. Visitors can understand the important role this building held in local religious and social practices.
The site functions as a museum branch and welcomes visitors to explore the permanent exhibition on Jewish heritage. Plan your visit by checking opening hours in advance, as they may vary by season.
After World War II damage, the structure served as a public bathhouse and storage space before its restoration to museum use. This unusual transformation is part of the building's documented history and tells a story of survival and adaptation.
