The Renaissance synagogue in the Zamosc Old City was built in 1610 - 1618 in the late Renaissance style.
It is one of the most spectacular monuments of Jewish heritage in Poland.
The main building was constructed first. It is a cube (12m x 12m x 12m) crowned with a high ridge of the attic which hides the roof.
Two low porches (women's gallery) were added to the north and south elevations soon afterwards.
The third annex was built in the 18th century. It is a vestibule connecting the synagogue with the kahal house next door (office of the community).
