The synagogue in Brody

The first mentions of the wooden synagogue in Brody date back to the late XVIth c. Due to frequent fires the rich Jewish community of the city decided to build a stone synagogue. The stone synagogue started being built in 1742 in the place of the wooden one that had burnt.
In the mid-1960ies the building was repaired, and a warehousing facility was arranged in the premises of the synagogue. Due to constant roof leakage the building stopped being used, and it became a desert, which fact later led to quick destruction. The stone building is square in the project, the main space is cubic, of hall type. To the west and to the north one-storey rectangular premises join it. Similar premises on the southern façade have been lost. The building is completed with a two-storey attic. The lower layer of the attic is decorated by a blank arcade, while the upper one — with flat octagons, and the eastern side of the attic is decorated with a baroque cartouch with inscriptions and scrolls.
