Izrael Poznański's Mausoleum, Jewish monument in Łódź, Poland

This circular granite mausoleum features eight columns and four pillars that support a decorated dome with religious mosaics inside the structure.

Between 1901 and 1903, the Berlin firm Cremer & Wolffenstein constructed this mausoleum for textile magnate Izrael Poznański and his wife Leonia.

The interior contains two sarcophagi and displays intricate mosaics created by German art firm Johann Odorico, representing Jewish religious symbolism.

The mausoleum underwent extensive renovation work in 1993 to preserve its structure and restore the detailed mosaic covering the interior dome.

This burial monument stands as the largest Jewish tombstone worldwide and represents the most significant example of Jewish sepulchral architecture from the 19th century.
