Tempel Synagogue, Progressive synagogue in Kazimierz district, Kraków, Poland.

Built between 1860 and 1862, the synagogue underwent multiple expansions, including a pentagonal apse addition and a Neo-Renaissance porch installation.

The synagogue serves as a venue for Jewish religious services during major holidays and hosts concerts during the Festival of Jewish Culture.
