Synagogue in Przysucha, 18th-century limestone synagogue in Przysucha, Poland.
The Synagogue in Przysucha is an 18th-century baroque limestone building with tall vaulted ceilings and a central four-piered bimah at its heart. Parts of the original Torah ark remain visible inside.
Construction took place between 1764 and 1777 during a period of growth for the local Jewish community. The community thrived in the town until World War II brought drastic changes.
The building reflects the religious practices of a large Jewish community that shaped the town for centuries. Its architecture shows how important this community once was to Przysucha's identity.
The Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland oversees maintenance of the building. Current structural conditions limit access to the interior, so check ahead before planning a visit.
Seven influential Hasidic rabbis associated with this synagogue lie buried in the adjacent Jewish cemetery. This connection draws religious visitors and pilgrims from around the world to pay their respects.
