General information about Synagogue (Bilshivtsi)

The synagogue in Bilshivtsi was built in the 18th century in the style of classicism, in the 19th century it was slightly expanded.

According to legend, it had not only men's, but also women's quarters.

Between the First and Second World Wars, the Jewish population in Bilshivtsi reached about 2 thousand people, the town had three synagogues, one of which survived. However, it did not retain its original appearance - the Soviet occupiers rebuilt it somewhat and turned it into the House of Culture, which is still valid today.

In 2014, restoration began at the expense of the village council.

Синагога у Більшовцях збудована у XVIII сторіччі в стилі класицизму, в ХІХ столітті її дещо розширили.

За переказами, вона мала не тільки чоловіче, але й жіноче приміщення.

Між Першою та Другою світовими війнами єврейське населення у Більшівцях сягало близько 2 тисяч осіб, містечко мало три синагоги, одна з яких вціліла. Однак не зберегла свого первісного вигляду – радянські окупанти її дещо перебудували та перетворили на Будинок культури, що і досі є чинним.

В 2014 році коштом селищної ради розпочато реставрацію.
