Synagogue Tempel

Poland, Krakow
Religious building in the style of the Moorish Revival is located in the center of Krakow, in the Kazimierz district. The Tempel Synagogue was built in the middle of the 19th century. The interior has a large amount of gold leaf. Well-preserved stained-glass windows with floral and geometric motifs deserve special attention. During its history, the Tempel synagogue was rebuilt more than once. Despite the fact that during the Second World War the German Nazis used the temple as an ammunition depot, the synagogue managed to survive. Regular prayers were held here until 1985. The last major renovation took place in the late 1990s. Now the synagogue is the center of Jewish culture, where numerous concerts and meetings are held.

Temple Synagogue or Progressive Synagogue was built in 1860-1862 by architect Ignatius Herzock. During its existence, the synagogue was rebuilt many times and got its modern look at the end of the XIX century, as a result of work designed by Benjamin Torbe. In 1924, during the restoration work, the side naves were completed, and some additional elements appeared. Now the synagogue combines elements of Moroccan style and classic German synagogues of the XIX century. Prior to World War II, the Temple Synagogue was a shrine to progressive Jews.
