Great Synagogue in Brody, 18th-century synagogue ruins in Brody, Ukraine.
The Renaissance-style Great Synagogue features thick fortress-like walls, rectangular windows, and a large central prayer hall with remnants of decorated interior elements.
Built in 1742 following a fire that destroyed the previous wooden structure, the synagogue sustained severe damage during World War II under Nazi occupation in 1943.
The synagogue held religious ceremonies and community gatherings for the Jewish population of Brody, which reached 88 percent of the town by the late 1800s.
The building requires immediate structural reinforcement as parts of its walls and vaulted ceiling have collapsed, with recent restoration attempts remaining incomplete.
The synagogue functioned as a warehouse during the Soviet period, and a 1991 initiative to transform it into an art gallery did not materialize.
