Designed by Moritz Landé and completed in 1860, the New Synagogue in Ostrów Wielkopolski exemplifies Moorish Revival architecture, a style chosen to express the aesthetic aspirations of the town's Orthodox Jewish congregation. Located at 21 Raszkowska Street in the city center—once the northern edge of the Jewish district—it served as a synagogue until World War II, when Nazis desecrated its interior in September 1939. After the war, the building fell into profane use before being fully restored by the local community. Since 2013, it has functioned as an educational institution. As the only preserved synagogue in Ostrów Wielkopolski, it remains the town's most precious monument of religious architecture.
