Zamość Synagogue, Renaissance synagogue in Zamość, Poland
The Zamość Synagogue features Mannerist architectural elements with a rectangular structure and low porches added for women throughout different construction periods.
Built in 1610, the synagogue served Jewish worshippers until World War II when German forces turned it into a carpentry workshop during their occupation.
The first Jewish settlers in Zamość were Sephardim from the Ottoman Empire and Venice, later joined by Ashkenazi Jews in the early 17th century.
The synagogue functions as a museum displaying Jewish heritage, with guided tours available through the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland.
Prior to World War II, the synagogue contained an ornate octagonal bimah and decorated Aron Kodesh, which were lost during the building's subsequent transformations.
