Baroque synagogue
The term "Baroque synagogue" refers to Jewish places of worship built during the Baroque period, which spanned the 17th and 18th centuries. These synagogues are characterized by their elaborate architectural styles, featuring ornate decorations, grand interiors, and intricate details. They often reflect the cultural influences of the regions in which they were constructed, blending Jewish traditions with Baroque aesthetics.
Notable examples of Baroque synagogues include the Altneuschul in Prague and the Great Synagogue in Amsterdam. These buildings not only served as religious centers but also as symbols of Jewish resilience and cultural identity during a time of significant change in Europe.
