New Synagogue

The New Synagogue of Ostrów Wielkopolski was built from 1857 to 1860 in the Moorish style. The synagogue was intended to replace the old synagogue, which had become too small for the city's Jewish community. Quite preserved during the Second World War, the building has since been restored for many artistic and educational purposes.
