Jewish Architecture
  Great Synagogue in Melnytsia, Ukraine

© Center for Jewish Art, Photographer: Unknown,

According to memoirs, the synagogue was a two-story building, with a dome pierced by windows. The windows were glazed with color glass "of all colors of rainbow".

Wall paintings and a carved Torah ark were made by a Jewish artist from Kremenets.

The synagogue burnt down in 1906. A small wooden prayer house was built several years later among the burnt walls of the synagogue.
