Jewish Architecture
  Temple in Buzău, Romania

© Center for Jewish Art, Photographer: Levin, Vladimir, 2019

A building of the Temple was constructed in 1903-1910. It combines the features of the Neo-Moorish style, popular emong European Jews, with those of the Neo-Romanian (Neo-Brâncovenesc) style, popular in the country as its national artistic expression.  Although the Temple is a magnificent building crowned with three cupolas, is it situated inside a block, screened from the street by the building of the Jewish school.

The Temple was repaired in 1946 with the assistance of the Joint Distribution Committee and therefore its photographs are preserved in the JDC archives in New York and the Yad Vashem Archives in Jerusalem. Nonetheless, currently the Temple is in a deteriorated state and it is dangerous to enter it.
