The Zamelis Synagogue (lt|Zamelio sinagoga), also called Zavl's Synagogue, is a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 6 Gėlių Street, in Vilnius, in the Vilnius County of Lithuania.[2]
Located on a site donated by Zavel Peisakhovich, where once stood a wooden synagogue, the synagogue was designed by Alekse Polozov in the Historicist style and built at the beginning of the 19th century, between 1817 and 1833.[1] It was actively used until 1940. Sir Moses Montefiori visited the synagogue in 1846.[1] After World War II it was used as a warehouse and apartment complex until 1990. At the end of the 20th century, the building was abandoned.
In 2015, reconstruction works started in the abandoned synagogue,[3] [4] [5] funded by the Cultural Heritage Department under the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture and the Lithuanian Jewish Community via the Goodwill Foundation., the building was used as a cultural center.[6] [7]
