Vijnițer Klaus Temple in Sighetu Marmației

The Vijnițer Klaus Temple features a combination of baroque, Moorish, and Romanesque architectural elements on its exterior, with simpler interior decorations following similar styles.

Completed in 1902, the synagogue operated under Rabbi Samuel Beniamin Danzig until the Holocaust period, serving the Neolog Jewish community of Sighetu Marmației.

The temple demonstrates the diversity of Jewish religious practices in Transylvania, representing one of several synagogues that operated simultaneously in Sighetu Marmației.

Located at Basarabia Street number 10, the synagogue maintains its status as a protected historic monument under the reference code MM-II-m-B-04673.

This synagogue remained active during a period when Jews constituted forty percent of Sighetu Marmației's total population in the interwar years.
