VERDUN

SYNAGOGUE

In 1805, the first synagogue was built on the site of the former Jacobin convent, which had been in existence since 1222. It was almost entirely destroyed by bombing during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870.

It was rebuilt between 1873 and 1875 by architect Henri Mazilier in the Hispano-Moorish style, inspired by Islamic Spain, at the expense of the Verdun Jewish community.

In 1872, a rectangular building was erected next to the synagogue, to house the minister and rabbi.
