Fabric Synagogue, Moorish Revival synagogue in Fabric district, Timișoara, Romania
The Fabric Synagogue features a central dome supported by semicircular arches, with polychrome facades alternating between plaster and red-yellow brick patterns.
Built in 1899 to replace an older synagogue from 1838, the building was designed by architect Lipót Baumhorn as part of the Neolog Jewish congregation.
The synagogue incorporates architectural elements from Moorish, Gothic, and Renaissance styles, reflecting the traditions of grand Neolog synagogues in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The structure includes separate entrances for men and women, with the women's entrance leading to an upper floor containing the organ section.
After serving multiple purposes during World War II, including as an Israelite High School, the synagogue closed in 1985 and returned to Jewish Community control in 2020.
