Swinoujscie Synagogue / Świnoujście
The construction of a synagogue was prepared in 1821 by the Jewish religious community of Swinoujscie. The merchant Isenthal extended the rear building of his home (Große Kirchenstraße, today Grunwaldzka) and made the new premises available to the Jewish community. This space soon became too small. An application made by the Jewish community in 1853 to the state for support in the construction of a synagogue was initially rejected due to the insufficient number of members.
