Synagogue in Przysucha, 18th-century limestone synagogue in Przysucha, Poland.
The synagogue features a tall vaulted ceiling supported by a central four-piered bimah and contains preserved sections of the original Torah ark.
Built between 1764 and 1777, this religious structure served a Jewish community that represented over 60 percent of the town population until World War II.
The synagogue stands as the largest baroque Jewish temple in Poland, reflecting the architectural and religious traditions of 18th-century Eastern European Judaism.
The Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland maintains the building, though current structural conditions restrict access to the main sanctuary.
Seven influential Hasidic rabbis connected to this synagogue are buried in the nearby Jewish cemetery, making it a destination for religious pilgrims worldwide.
