Irkutsk synagogue, Regional cultural heritage synagogue in Right Bank District, Irkutsk, Russia.
The three-story religious building displays intricate craftsmanship with detailed stained glass windows and traditional architectural features characteristic of 19th-century Russian synagogues.
Constructed in 1882 during the expansion of the Russian Empire into Siberia, this synagogue became a central institution for Jewish merchants and traders settling in Irkutsk.
The synagogue functions as an educational center, offering programs about Jewish traditions while maintaining regular religious services for the local Jewish community.
Located near other historical sites in the Right Bank District, the synagogue welcomes visitors interested in exploring the Jewish heritage of Siberia.
Following a significant fire in 2004, the synagogue underwent extensive restoration work to preserve its historical elements and maintain its status as the sole Jewish temple in Irkutsk.
