Synagogue in Szczebrzeszyn, Former synagogue and cultural center in Szczebrzeszyn, Poland.

The stone building with a cross gable roof stands near the central square on Sadowa Street, featuring Renaissance ornaments and a preserved Aron ha-Kodesz.

The synagogue, first mentioned in 1588, underwent reconstruction after its destruction in 1940 and reopened as a cultural center between 1957 and 1963.

The structure represents one of Poland's oldest synagogues, reflecting the substantial Jewish population that made up 44 percent of Szczebrzeszyn by 1897.

The building currently functions as a Municipal Cultural Centre, hosting various community events and cultural activities throughout the year.

A path behind the synagogue leads through ferns to an ancient Jewish cemetery containing over 2,000 preserved gravestones dating from 1545 to 1939.
