You can still feel and hear and imagine the community life that filled this place. And than you realise that after the tourists leave - they close the lights and lock the doors. No one will come to pray here any more. Recently renovated. Wealth of history shows inside and temporary exhibitions. Definitely worth a visit to learn about the history of Jewish people in Tykocin and Poland. A must see! Great time travel to the 1600 Unfortunately 1800 jews were killed in a horrible masacre in the 1940s The in Tykocin. A beautiful place. You can visit it and hear its history. The place is very beautiful. Declared a UNESCO heritage site. The town looks like it did during World War 2. Preserved and restored. There are not so many so well preserved synagogues in Poland. This one definitely made an impression An important and fascinating place to visit. You can learn about the history of the local Jewish community, the story of the synagogue, and gain general insights into Judaism. The audio guide is informative, though it seems more suitable for visitors with little prior knowledge of the subject. Next to the synagogue, there is a memorial wall dedicated to the town’s Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Unfortunately, the wall is rusted and the names are difficult to read. I would strongly recommend restoring and cleaning it so that the memory of those commemorated can be preserved with dignity. A remarkable place with hundreds of years of history, and surprisingly well preserved frescoes and some artifacts. Restored to serve as a place commemorating the Jewish community that once lived in Tylkocin. A youtube audioguide will walk you through rhe in 15 minutes, highlighting the most important places and their meaning. There are also photographs of the Jewish people who lived here before the war donated by a WWII survivor. Very touching and poignant. The great is currently the second largest and one of the oldest synagogues in Poland and one of the best preserved synagogues from the 17th century in Europe. In the main prayer hall are presented for instance: antique Torah scrolls covered with a crown, sashes, tallits, books, tefillins, hanukkiahs, menorahs. The rabbi's room and the reconstruction of the Seder Pesach, i.e. the Passover supper, were arranged in the tower. In 1992, the president of Israel, Chaim Herzog, visited the synagogue. Interesting place but poor service. One of the women there is very nervous and unpleasant, you feel like you are not welcome.
