Synagogue de la Paix
One of the most impressive sights in Strasbourg is the Synagogue de la Paix. The beautiful neo-Romanesque synagogue that once stood on quai Kleber had a capacity of 1,600 worshippers. Unfortunately, the Nazis destroyed it in 1940, leaving only a metal plaque to remind us of its heyday. But the city's Jewish community slowly recovered after the war. In 1958, a new synagogue was built on the site of the old one. The Synagogue of Peace was built by architect Claude Meyer-Levy. The synagogue opened its doors on 23 March 1958.
