Orthodox synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Oradea, Romania

The Orthodox Synagogue features neo-Moorish architecture with a central dome, towering spires, and detailed woodwork across its interior spaces and walls.

Built in 1890 according to plans by architect Knapp Ferencz, the synagogue served a Jewish population of over 15,000 people before World War II.

The synagogue remains the only functional Jewish religious building in Oradea, maintaining regular services and traditional ceremonies for the local community.

Visitors can access the synagogue near Mihai Viteazul Street, with guided tours available to explore the architectural details and religious artifacts.

A black marble monument stands in the synagogue yard, commemorating the Jewish community members who did not return from deportation during World War II.
