The Gyöngyös Synagogue, also called the Great New Synagogue, is a former Neolog Jewish synagogue, located in Gyöngyös, Hungary. Completed in 1930, the building was used a synagogue until World War II, subsequently for profane use, and in 2014 it was announced that the former synagogue would be transformed into a cultural center.[2]
History
The large, domed synagogue was built in 1930 according to the plans of Lipót Baumhorn with the support of György Somogyi, his son-in-law. The building was designed in an eclectic combination of Art Deco and Moorish Revival styles, decorated with medieval European and Eastern elements.[3]
In 2014 it was announced that the severely dilapidated former synagogue building was being renovated and converted into a venue for cultural programs.[4]
