Jewish Architecture
  Small Synagogue in Ozaryntsi, Ukraine

© Center for Jewish Art, Photographer: Ukrzakhidprojectrestavratsiia, 1998

The building was a square, one-storied, simple freestanding structure, covered with a hipped roof.  It consisted of a rectangular prayer hall, with 11 windows and one door, a women’s section in the southwest corner and a small vestibule in the west corner.  The four facades of the building had a cornice.  All window and door openings were decorated by moulded frames, which were wider in their upper part.  The building probably had two entrances: one on the southeast side, directly leading to the prayer hall, another on the northwest side, leading to a small vestibule.  The vestibule had two doors, one to the prayer room, another to the women’s section.  The women’s section was connected to the prayer hall with three windows in the inner dividing wall.  In its outer walls it had five windows (one on the southeast wall, four on the southwest wall).  There were two heating stoves: one in the prayer hall, another in the wall dividing the prayer hall and the women’s section.

History/Provenance
On 27 March 1896 the Architectural Department of the province administration approved the conversion of the building, probably a private dwelling, into a synagogue. The synagogue was closed by the Soviet authorities in the 1920s–1930s, and the building was again used as a dwelling house. Probably, at that time, the entrance was made in the southwest wall. The building was still standing in the mid-1990s, but in 1998 only remnants of the foundation remained.
