This synagogue was designed by architect Tjeerd Kuipers and was consecrated in 1906. In 1942, the building was closed by the occupiers. They used it as a storage and collection point for radios, copper and tin.
The Jewish community sold the building in 1952. The building had become too large and too expensive to maintain any longer. The new owner, the Apostolic Society, used the building for their meetings. After that, the synagogue was rented to a laundry, until it too had to close its doors due to financial problems. The building stood empty for a long time, causing it to fall into disrepair. Until the Groningen city council decided to purchase and restore the building. In 1981, the synagogue was consecrated again by Rabbi Jacobs. Since then, the synagogue has been used as a 'shul' by the Jewish community of Groningen and as a cultural space for concerts, exhibitions, tours and education by the Stichting Folkingestraat Synagoge. The large round stained glass window with its 'Tree of Life' symbolism is striking.

A beautiful and important building. If it is open, it is worth taking a look.
