New Synagogue in Leszno, Religious monument in Leszno, Poland.
The New Synagogue features Art Nouveau architecture with distinct oval windows, a central tower, and decorative annexes added during the 1905 renovation.
Built between 1796 and 1799, the synagogue replaced earlier wooden structures that had been destroyed by fires in 1656, 1707, and 1790.
The synagogue houses a permanent exhibition titled 'Jews in Leszno' and contains numerous artifacts related to Jewish heritage in Greater Poland.
Visitors can explore the District Museum branch Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 2:30 PM, and weekends from 10 AM to 2 PM.
The synagogue transformed from a public bathhouse and storage facility after 1945 before becoming a museum through restoration in 2006.
