Orthodox synagogue in Brașov, Religious building in Brașov, Romania
The Orthodox Synagogue at 24 Cloșka Street features neo-classical architecture with clean lines and traditional Jewish religious symbols integrated into its facade. Its interior contains religious texts and sacred objects that serve the community's worship practices.
The building was constructed in 1924, during a period of growth for Brașov's Jewish community, which had established roots in the city since 1807. This timing reflects when the community was consolidating its religious institutions and presence.
The synagogue remains an active place of worship for the local Jewish community, hosting regular services and displaying religious objects that reflect Orthodox Jewish traditions. You can observe how this community continues to practice its faith within these walls.
You need to contact the Jewish Community Center in advance to arrange a visit inside the building. Men are required to wear head coverings while present on the premises.
The building survived World War II without significant damage and retains its original architectural elements, while many other Jewish structures across Romania were destroyed. This preservation makes it a rare surviving example from that era in the region.
