  Architecture Synagogue in Krzepice, Poland
The synagogue in Krzepice was built in about 1822 on the other side of the Liswarta in a former village of Kuźnicza (today’s district of Krzeptowice). During WWII around the synagogue there was a Jewish camp established by the Germans.
The building was erected with brick and stone, on the rectangular plan of the following measurement: 13,6x24,1 meter. There is a façade in the shape of a four-column portico with a triangular tympanum. Over the tympanum there is a semi-circular window over which there is a stylized Star of David with a Hebrew inscription: “How dreadful is this place! This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” On the west side of the building there is a vestibule. In the inside of the main prayer room Aron ha-Kodesz remained enclosed by a simple brick finish casing. The building is ruined, with cracked walls and no roof. (Text from Vitual Shtetl)
