Łańcut Synagogue

The brick, late-Baroque church in Łańcut is the best preserved Subcarpathian synagogue. Its interior consists of, among others, the bimah, the 18th-century polychromed stucco decoration, and 19th-century Baroque paintings with inscriptions. The niche, which housed scrolls of Torah, is the only preserved wooden part of the former equipment. It consists of tablets with the Decalogue surrounded by an ornament. The vestibule contains matzevahs from Jewish cemeteries destroyed by Germans. Nowadays, the Judaic Museum operates in the synagogue.

Founded by Stanisław Lubomirski, the church was built in 1761 in the place of the old wooden synagogue. It was almost destroyed twice: during World War II when it was put on fire by Nazis, and in 1956, when city authorities wanted to dismantle the then damaged building. It was entered in the register of objects of cultural heritage in 1969. It was renovated from 1983 to 1990. For a long time, it was a department of the museum in Łańcut. At present, it is administered by the Foundation of Protection of Jewish Heritage.

Famous Rebbe Yaakov Yitzchak, known as "the Seer of Lublin", prayed in the small room called "Lubelska".
