Choral Synagogue in the Dnieper


Synagogue in the early 20th century Interior of the synagogue

The first prayer house in the Dnieper - then called Ekaterinoslav - was erected at the beginning of the 19th century, but in 1833 it burned down in a fire. By the middle of the 19th century, a brick synagogue was built in the style of classicism, with a triangular tympanum and two symmetrically set turrets.

In 1929, the synagogue was closed and converted into a club, and after 1947, Volodarskis (sports activities were held here). In 1996 the building was returned to the Jewish community, which carried out its thorough reconstruction. In 2005, the synagogue was solemnly dedicated.
