Jewish Architecture Synagogue in Działoszyce, Poland
The Neo-Classical synagogue was conserved as a ruin c. 2010. By that time the western gable, seen on the photographs of 1995 and 2000 was lost, as well as the interior. An inscription above the oculus in the eastern gable reads: בית תפלת עדת ישראל [House of prayer of the Jewish community]. An inscription of the western gable (does not exist) read: תריד [=year 1854].
