The Gyöngyös Synagogue, also called the Great New Synagogue, is a former Neolog Jewish synagogue, located in Gyöngyös, Hungary. Completed in 1930, the building was used a synagogue until World War II, subsequently for profane use, and in 2014 it was announced that the former synagogue would be transformed into a cultural center.
History The large, domed synagogue was built in 1930 according to the plans of Lipót Baumhorn with the support of György Somogyi, his son-in-law. The building was designed in an eclectic combination of Art Deco and Moorish Revival styles, decorated with medieval European and Eastern elements.
In 2014 it was announced that the severely dilapidated former synagogue building was being renovated and converted into a venue for cultural programs.
