Novosadska Sinagoga

Novi Sad Synagogue - the most important information

The center of Novi Sad is adorned with this magnificent synagogue, in Jevrejska Street.

In addition, there are three other synagogues in Serbia. You will recognize it by its yellow,

clinker brick decoration, while the interior is known for its stucco decoration.

It is considered one of the most valuable buildings in Novi Sad. Today, the concert hall is

famous, where numerous music programs are held.

History of the Novi Sad Synagogue
Designed by Hungarian architect Lipot Baumhorn, it was built between 1906 and 1909.

It was built on the site of the fourth synagogue in Novi Sad, which was built back in 1826.

It is located between the Jewish community and the former Jewish primary school,

today a ballet school. The number of members of the Jewish community has

significantly decreased, after the Holocaust, but the Novi Sad Synagogue is still in the

same place, with open doors for all visitors, although it is no longer primarily a religious building.

What is obligatory to do in the Novi Sad synagogue?
Over time, the original purpose of the synagogue has changed, so it is now a space

where concerts of classical music and plays are held. Music programs are organized

by the Music Youth of Novi Sad. If you are a fan of classical music, you will enjoy the elegant sounds of the youth choir, symphony orchestra, and vocal-instrumental compositions.
