The Synagogue in Vatra Dornei by Adela Jucan

The Vatra Dornei Synagogue, in the county of Suceava, was constructed in the second half of the nineteenth century (1898 – 1902) by a strong jewish community in the town, which today can only count 8 remaining among its number.
It is not functioning today, though planned by the Ministry of culture to be put to re-use, as a religious center or a museum. Despite the continuing degradation, it remains a spectacular building, though the necessity of repairs is very important. The synagogue can be viewed from three sides, only in the exterior.
