Kápolnási Synagogue

As the number of Jews in Debrecen reached its peak during the first decade of the 20th century, the community found itself in need of a new synagogue. Built between 1909 and 1910, the “small” church, which is able to accommodate 600 people, continues to fill its traditional role: it serves the people as a sacred space. Today, the recently renovated synagogue is used for religious purposes on the big Jewish holidays, but it has hosted cultural happenings of different kinds on several occasions.
