Synagogue in Chmielnik, 18th-century synagogue in Chmielnik, Poland.
The central synagogue features a massive stone construction with tall arched windows, intricate moldings, and a large prayer hall in the traditional Ashkenazi style.
During World War II, the German forces converted this synagogue into a storage facility, marking a dark period for the local Jewish population of 6,000 people.
Regular Jewish religious ceremonies took place in this synagogue until 1939, with separate sections designated for men and women according to Orthodox traditions.
The synagogue building currently functions as the Center for Jewish Culture Education, offering guided tours and educational programs about Jewish heritage.
The restored interior includes an original bimah platform and fragments of wall paintings that survived through multiple renovations and historical changes.
