Szydłów Synagogue, Renaissance synagogue in Szydłów, Poland.
The stone synagogue features buttresses on each side and combines Renaissance architecture with Gothic elements in its fortress-like construction.
Built in 1534, the synagogue served the Jewish community until World War II, when Nazi forces damaged the building and used it for storage.
The synagogue contains the original masonry Torah Ark from the early 17th century and displays traces of historical wall paintings by artist Jehuda Lejb.
The building reopened in 2019 after extensive renovations, including roof replacement, floor updates, and new facilities for cultural events.
The synagogue's white exterior emphasizes its defensive architectural elements, making it stand out among Poland's religious structures.
