Rymanów Synagogue
synagogue in Rymanów, Poland
The Rymanów Synagogue is a synagogue located in Rymanów, Poland, at 2 Piękna Street. It is the second-oldest synagogue in Outer Subcarpathia and one of the oldest in Poland.
History
The synagogue was constructed in the first half of the 17th century or the late 16th century. It may have been modeled after the Kupa Synagogue in Kraków. In 1920, it underwent a major renovation, during which the barrel vault was removed and elements of Viennese Secession style were introduced. During World War II, the Nazis devastated the synagogue, using it as a warehouse for looted Jewish property and later for grain storage. In 1944, during military operations, the building sustained minor damage and was used as a Soviet military hospital.
After the war, the synagogue's roof was dismantled. In 1957, a fire further damaged the structure. Following this, a decision was made to demolish the synagogue, leading to the removal of adjacent masonry annexes and parts of the main prayer hall's walls.

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q9350062. Authority coordinates are 49.576, 21.867. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1920, 1944 and 1957.
