Postcard photo of the Great Synagogue (ca. 1909). It was one
of the most beautiful synagogues in Poland. Built in 1791, its
ornate interior was completed in 1816. Next to it was the Beit
Midrash (religious study hall). In the 1960s, the buildings were
reconstructed and are now used as public libraries.
