בית הכנסת בקוסטרומה, Wooden synagogue in Kostroma, Russia.
The synagogue stands at 16A Sennoy Lane, featuring traditional wooden architecture with detailed exterior decorations and large windows for natural illumination.
The Jewish community of Kostroma built this synagogue between 1903 and 1907, with merchant L.I. Dombek initiating the construction project through local authorities.
Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Schneiderman led the congregation as its first spiritual leader, establishing religious services and educational programs for the Jewish population.
The synagogue maintains regular prayer services, houses a kindergarten and evening school, and provides religious guidance under Rabbi Nison Mendl Ruppo since 2002.
The synagogue received recognition as a regional cultural heritage site of Russia, preserving its original wooden structure from the early 20th century.
