Jewish Architecture  Synagogue in Buk, Poland

© Virtual Shtetl, Photographer: Badacz, Izrael, 2005

The synagogue in Buk was built in 1909 in the place of the former synagogue erected in 1858. During World War II the building was devastated by the Germans who turned the building into a carpenter’s shop. After the war the building housed a sport club called “Patria”. After 1977 attempts were made to convert the building into a library and a community center. However, in 1987 the building was taken over by the Nissenbaum Foundation and consequently the synagogue and an adjacent Talmudic school were renovated. As a result, the synagogue in Buk is the best preserved synagogue in Greater Poland Voivodeship.

The synagogue was erected on a rectangular plan. In the prayer room there are galleries supported by columns where women’s galleries were located.
