Borculo, NL
The synagogue replaced a former synagogue 1840 and is designed J. te Velthuis. To the left of the building was a Jewish school. The backyard still contains the mikveh. The long side wall along the street is built in a Neo-Classical style. The side wall is divided by the use of Ionic pilasters into four segments. Each segment is provided with a large rounded arched window. The synagogue is topped with a hipped roof. The main entrance is relatively modest and does not feature elaborate ornamental detail except for the tondo window above the door. The women's gallery is situated at the western end of the interior and supported by small columns. During the Second World War, the interior was set on fire which resulted in the complete loss of the interior furnishings. The building was sold after the war ended. The façade including its plastered ornaments was renovated in 1993. The Stichting Synagoge Borcule supports the idea of restoring the synagogue and mikveh and transforming the building to a cultural center.
