About Włodawa Synagogue

The Włodawa Synagogue (Polish: Wlodowa Synagoga) is a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue complex, located at 5-7 Czerwonego Krzyża Street, in Włodawa, in the Lublin Voivodeship of Poland. The synagogue complex comprises the Włodawa Great Synagogue (Polish: Wielka Synagoga), the Small Synagogue or Beit midrash, and a Jewish administrative building, all now preserved as a Jewish museum.

Designed by Paolo Antonio Fontana in the Baroque style and completed in 1774, the former Great Synagogue is preserved as a Jewish museum. The Small Synagogue, or Beit midrash, also in the Baroque style, was completed in 1786 and is preserved as a museum as well. The administrative community building was completed in 1928. The synagogue complex is "one of the best-preserved" synagogues in Poland.

Jewish immigrants from Włodawa established the Wlodowa Synagogue in London, England in 1901.
