Oświęcim Synagogue, Jewish religious building in Oświęcim, Poland.
The Chevra Lomdei Mishnayot Synagogue features brick construction and traditional Orthodox Jewish architectural elements at Plac Księdza Jana Skarbka 5 in Oświęcim.
The synagogue, built between 1913 and 1918, suffered damage during World War II when Nazi forces converted it into a munitions storage facility.
The synagogue contains a museum presenting the history of Jewish life in Oświęcim through photographs, documents, and religious artifacts from the pre-war period.
Visitors can access guided tours of the synagogue and museum daily, with arrangements for group visits available through the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation.
This synagogue became the first property returned to the Jewish community under Poland's post-communist restitution laws following its restoration in 2000.
