Old Town Synagogue

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:24:24

The synagogue dates from the early 17th century and was built in Renaissance style. It was destroyed several times in the Cossack invasions and burnt down again in 1842, but was rebuilt each time. It was partially destroyed by the Germans in WWII and fell into ruin. These days it holds the state archives and is closed to the public.
