The Fabric Synagogue, located in the Fabric district of Timișoara, Romania, is a former Neolog Jewish congregation synagogue completed in 1899. Designed by renowned architect Lipót Baumhorn, the building exemplifies an eclectic architectural approach, blending Moorish Revival, Gothic Revival, and Renaissance Revival elements. Built to replace an earlier synagogue on Timocului Street, it functioned as a place of worship until 1985, after which the structure deteriorated significantly. Recognized as a Historic Monument in Romania, the building was added to the World Monuments Fund's at-risk list in 2022. As of August 2024, the Timișoara City Hall undertook its restoration with the intention of repurposing it as a cultural center.
