Novi Sad Synagogue, Art Nouveau synagogue in Novi Sad, Serbia.
Novi Sad Synagogue is an Art Nouveau structure featuring three interior aisles and a 40-meter-high dome decorated with stained glass and topped by two entrance towers. The cupola dominates the interior space with its colorful glass work and architectural design.
Hungarian architect Lipót Baumhorn designed this structure between 1905 and 1909 as the centerpiece of a Jewish quarter that included a school and community spaces. The building was repurposed during World War II and later underwent transformation into a cultural venue.
The building once served as a gathering place for the Jewish community during religious services and holidays that shaped local identity. Today concerts and Jewish celebrations here keep these traditions alive for visitors and residents alike.
The building sits on Jevrejska Street in central Novi Sad and is easy to reach on foot from the main squares. Visitors should know the structure is undergoing ongoing restoration work to preserve its architectural details.
During World War II the building served as a detention facility for Jewish residents and stored their personal belongings before forced deportation. This dark chapter remains part of the building's complex history.
