Fabric Orthodox Synagogue

The Fabric Orthodox Synagogue, located at 16 Ion Creangă Street in Timișoara, Romania, is a historic site built between 1885 and 1889 for the Autonomous Orthodox Jewish Community. This eclectic-style building features Moorish architectural elements and was once a vibrant center for the local Jewish community, particularly under the leadership of Chief Rabbi Herman Szofer. Although it served as a synagogue until the post-World War II emigration of many Orthodox Jews, it now operates as a funeral home. The synagogue is recognized as a historical monument, making it a significant landmark for tourists and researchers interested in Jewish heritage and architecture in Romania.
