Abstract

Restoration Architect: Tamás KŐNIG DLA and Péter WAGNER DLA Originally designed in the Moorish Revival style by Otto Wagner in 1873, this synagogue served as a place of worship for the more conservative members of Budapest's Jewish community. WWII damage left the building in a ruinous state, although repairs to the structure did occur, restoration in earnest did not start until 2007. The subsequent works have restored this place of worship to its former splendor and function. Attention payed to the original design, the Torah Ark and unusual use of Moorish decorative elements have helped demonstrate why this building is one of Budapest's significant historic monuments.
