Synagogue, 16th century religious building in Sharhorod, Ukraine.

The synagogue features stone walls measuring between 1 and 2 meters thick, with a main prayer hall of 15 square meters supported by four pillars.

Built in 1589 during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth era, the synagogue served as a mosque from 1674 to 1699 during the Turkish occupation period.

The interior contains decorative stucco elements from the 18th and 19th centuries, marking generations of Jewish religious practices and architectural development.

The synagogue includes separate prayer spaces, with the main hall designated for men and a northern extension reserved for women.

The structure returned to the Jewish community in 2012 after spending decades as a storage facility during the Soviet period.
