Synagogue in Olesko, 19th century synagogue in Olesko, Ukraine.
The synagogue features a rectangular layout with classical architectural elements, high windows, and remnants of decorative stonework on its weathered facade.
Built between 1750 and 1800, the synagogue served as the central place of worship for the Jewish community that first settled in Olesko in 1579.
The synagogue stood as the center of religious education and community gatherings until 1942, when German forces deported 400 local Jews to Belzec.
The structure requires extensive restoration work as its windows are broken, the roof shows severe damage, and vegetation grows through the walls.
The building transformed into an agricultural storage facility during Soviet times, leading to modifications including additional door installations and bricked windows.
