Uzhhorod Synagogue, Former Jewish temple and concert hall in Uzhhorod, Ukraine

The synagogue features pink marble walls, red ceramic tiles, and decorative bricks along with copper ornaments on its Byzantine and Moorish style facade.

Built in 1904 by architects Gyula Papp and Ferenc Szabolcs, the structure served the Jewish community until 1944 before Soviet authorities converted it into a concert hall.

The building housed numerous rabbinical scholars and contained a Hebrew printing press that produced significant religious texts for Orthodox and Hasidic movements.

The structure functions as the main concert venue of the Transcarpathian Regional Philharmonic, located at Theatre Square 10 in central Uzhhorod.

The synagogue's transformation included the installation of an organ and acoustic modifications, while maintaining its original architectural exterior elements.
