New Synagogue, Ostrów Wielkopolski, Orthodox synagogue in Ostrów Wielkopolski, Poland
The New Synagogue features two towers and detailed ornamentation on its facade, following the architectural principles of Moorish Revival design from the 1850s.
The building's cornerstone was placed on April 7, 1857, under Rabbi Aron Moses Stössel's guidance, marking the start of construction for the growing Jewish population.
The structure stands as evidence of the substantial Jewish presence in Ostrów Wielkopolski, where they constituted 25 percent of the town's population in the mid-1800s.
Located at 21 Raszkowska Street, the synagogue opens Tuesday through Friday from 11 AM to 7 PM and weekends from 10 AM to 2 PM.
During a tragic Yom Kippur service in 1872, nineteen people died after a staircase collapsed due to extinguished gas lamps causing panic.
