Szeged Synagogue: A Testament to Art Nouveau
The Szeged Synagogue, completed in 1907, is an architectural gem designed by Lipót Baumhorn. This house of worship is among Hungary's most beautiful synagogues, reflecting the artistic vitality of its time.
With a community that has declined from 8,000 to about 500 since WWII, the synagogue remains actively in use. Its interior is dominated by a spectacular blue-and-gold cupola adorned with stars and floral motifs, symbolizing infinity and faith. Other unique features include a tabernacle crafted from carved acacia wood, exquisite metal fittings, and stained glass by the renowned Miksa Róth.
