    This building is the work of Alexandre Stamm (1835-1906), municipal architect of the city of Sélestat. The synagogue was inaugurated on September 3, 1890.

    Built centrally like the Rhenish synagogues of the time, this synagogue has a very sober, neo-Romanesque decoration. The alternation of different stone layers, yellow sandstone and red bricks as well as the borders with colored sandstone give it a colorful appearance.

    Destroyed by the Nazis in 1940, it was restored after the war without its original dome. During this restoration work, the former bath for ritual ablutions from 1836 was uncovered.

      Unfortunately, the inside cannot be visited, but it is in a nice spot and is architecturally interesting.
