Soldiers ' Synagogue Building

The Soldiers' Synagogue is the only functioning synagogue, built in 1872. The synagogue burned down during the 1905 Jewish pogrom, but the building was rebuilt in 1913-1914. In 1935, the synagogue was closed for worship. After the Great Patriotic War, the building was returned to the Jewish community. The Soldiers' Synagogue has received the status of a cultural heritage site of regional significance. The architecture of the Soldier's Synagogue contains elements of Art Nouveau and oriental style. The building has a complex composition in the plan. The volumes of the three parts of the building are reduced along the north-south axis. The windows of the synagogue's facade have semicircular ends. The upper openings have bindings with a patterned Gothic rose. The base of the synagogue is covered with rustication. The main volume ends with a massive cornice and a blind parapet, at the corners of which are four domes decorated with stars of David. The facade is decorated with stucco rosettes.
