Karaite synagogue, Religious monument in Simferopol, Crimean Peninsula.
The Karaite synagogue exhibits an architectural fusion of eclecticism, Moorish, Byzantine, and Gothic elements in its structural design and decorative features.
Built in 1896 under the direction of Isaac Sultansky, this religious structure became a central gathering place for the Karaite Jewish community in Crimea.
The synagogue functions as a repository of Karaite traditions, where members practice their interpretation of Judaism based solely on the Hebrew Bible.
