Neolog Jewish temple in Brașov, Gothic Revival synagogue in central Brașov, Romania.
The Neolog Jewish temple is a synagogue featuring three naves divided by columns to create separate worship areas, with decorative stained-glass windows throughout the interior. The building occupies a central location on Poarta Șchei Street with additional facilities that serve the community.
The temple opened in the early 1900s as a response to the community's need for a new place of worship following religious changes among local Jews. Its construction represented a significant moment when Brașov's Jewish population sought to express their identity through modern architecture.
The synagogue shows how the Jewish community in Brașov adapted its worship practices and created a space that reflects both tradition and modern thinking. You can see this connection in how the interior is arranged and how people use it today.
The building is accessible from the street and you can view the interior to understand its layout and decoration. A visit fits easily into an afternoon walk through central Brașov.
The interior contains memorial plaques honoring important members of the community, making the local Jewish history tangible and personal. Stained glass windows display symbols connected to Jewish settlements, adding layers of meaning to the decoration.
