Synagogue
2022.03.14
The "new" synagogue and the head office of the Jewish community was planned by Lipót Baumhorn after winning the contest of design. The building operations began in August of 1900 and ended by October 1902. We can recognise nearly all architectural styles in this monumental 48,5 meter (158,5 feet) tall building. The basic overall appearance is moorish-art nouveau. The insertion by sprandrels, the rib-like wall above the organ is Gothic, the columns holding the galleries are Roman. The most beautiful part of the synagogue is the interior of the dome, which symbolizes the world.
