The Synagogue of Bar-le-Duc, built in 1872 in this Meuse town of northeastern France, represents a striking example of Moorish architecture applied to Jewish religious architecture during the nineteenth century. Now inscribed as a French historical monument, the building embodies the elaborate decorative traditions of Moorish revival style that were fashionable among synagogue designers of the period, blending architectural exoticism with the community's spiritual aspirations.
