Győr Synagogue
Győri zsinagóga
A synagogue with an octagonal dome, completed in 1870. It has been restored and now serves as a cultural center and art venue.
Győr Synagogue was designed by the architect Károly Benkő and completed in 1870. Its octagonal plan, interior gallery and painted decoration are well preserved, making it one of Hungary's most beautiful synagogues. After World War II the Jewish community nearly disappeared, and the building stood empty for a long time. It is now used by Széchenyi István University and open to the public, with a permanent art collection and regular concerts. It stands on the bank of the Rába, about a 10-minute walk from the main square.
