Pińczów synagogue, Renaissance synagogue in Pińczów, Poland
The rectangular stone building contains a prayer hall with vaulted ceilings, decorated with circular and square Rococo stuccoes from the 19th century.
Constructed between 1594 and 1609, the synagogue served the Jewish community until 1939, when German forces caused substantial damage during World War II.
The prayer hall features preserved wall paintings from the 1600s by Jehuda Leib, representing the oldest synagogue frescoes discovered in Poland.
The synagogue stands 300 meters north of the market square, with the Jewish cemetery adjacent to its northern wall.
Conservation efforts in 2005 revealed ancient inscriptions and scrolls beneath layers of paint, providing extensive information about Polish Jewish history.
