Synagogue in Olesko, 19th century synagogue in Olesko, Ukraine.
Description
The Synagogue in Olesko is a building with a rectangular layout and classical architectural elements from the 18th century. High windows and remnants of stone decorative work mark its weathered front facade.
History
The building was constructed between 1750 and 1800 and served as the main place of worship for the local Jewish community for over a century. The community itself had arrived in Olesko around 1579.
Culture
The synagogue was where the local Jewish community gathered for prayer and social meetings throughout its active years. The building stands today as a reminder of this community's deep roots in the town.
Practical
The building is currently in poor condition with a damaged roof, broken windows, and vegetation growing through the walls. Visitors should be aware that extensive restoration work is needed and the interior may not be fully accessible.
Did you know?
During Soviet times, the building was repurposed as an agricultural storage facility, which led to modifications like additional door installations and bricked-over windows. These changes remain visible on the structure today.
