Old Synagogue in Opole

The Old Synagogue stands at 1 Szpitalna Street, displaying architectural elements from 1842 with detailed facades and traditional religious layout configurations.

Constructed in 1841 by architect Felix Henry, the synagogue served the Jewish community until the construction of a new synagogue between 1893 and 1897.

The building represents the religious heritage of the Jewish population in Opole, who made up a substantial portion of local society before World War II.

The synagogue structure maintains its external appearance at the intersection of Hospital Street, allowing visitors to examine its 19th-century architectural features.

The building survived the events of Kristallnacht in 1938, when numerous other Jewish religious structures in the region were destroyed by Nazi forces.
