Uzhgorod Synagogue, Ukraine
From series “Monuments of Byzantium: the most famous buildings”Year: 1904.
The building of an ancient synagogue has been preserved in the Ukrainian city of Uzhhorod. It is also a striking example of the Byzantine style. Its construction was completed in 1904. The synagogue is not used for its intended purpose today. The Regional Philharmonic Hall is located in it. The construction of the synagogue was carried out on the donations of wealthy Jews from the local community. The building has a beautiful exterior and rich interior decoration.
Rare types of marble and decorative red bricks were used in the construction of the synagogue. Ceramic tiles were also the material for the construction of the building. It was one of the most expensive finishing materials in the early 20th century. The fate of the synagogue changed in the post-war years. Reconstruction of the building began after the change of power in 1947. It was decided to open a philharmonic hall in it. The interior of the synagogue has changed the most. The exterior of the building has remained the same.
