Description

The Great Synagogue in Tykocin is one of the oldest and best preserved monuments of Jewish religious architecture in Poland. Built in 1642, it impresses with its Baroque style and nine-bay vaulted ceiling.

The interior hides unique artifacts, including Torah scrolls adorned with crowns and other ritual objects. Formerly an intellectual center, it is now a museum showcasing rich Jewish history and culture.

The women's gallery features temporary exhibitions, and a recreated Passover Seder in the tower. It's an extraordinary journey through time to learn about the multicultural heritage of the region.

avatarMartusienka Zukowska3 months agoRecently renovated. Wealth of history shows inside and temporary exhibitions. Definitely worth a visit to learn about the history of Jewish people in Tykocin and Poland. A must see!
avatarHenry Cusnir2 years agoGreat time travel to the 1600 Unfortunately 1800 jews were killed in a horrible masacre in the 1940s
avatarsagi shlomo2 years agoThe place is very beautiful. Declared a UNESCO heritage site. The town looks like it did during World War 2. Preserved and restored.
