The Keszthely Synagogue is a synagogue in Keszthely, Hungary. The synagogue was originally built in 1852 in the neo-classical style. The shape was altered in 1894 when the building was remodeled in the spirit of eclecticism. In 1898 an organ built by Sándor Országh was installed.〔The Organ: An Encyclopedia By Douglas Earl Bush, Richard Kassel, Published by Routledge, 2006, ISBN 0-415-94174-1, page 263.〕 The temple served the local Neolog congregation. The building has undergone a number of renovations - in 1930, in 1945 and in 1967. In 1987 part of the ceiling collapsed and as a result planning began in 1991 to fully renovate the building. Full renovation work started in 1993, and the synagogue was reconsecrated on July 7, 1995 in the presence of the President of the Republic Árpád Göncz and the Chief Rabbi Tamás Raj. In 1997 its painted decorations and work on the facade was also completed.〔Goldschmied István, President of the Jewish Community of Keszthely〕 ==The building== The building was originally accessed via a narrow mew from Fejér György Street where the Jewish School once stood.〔Goldschmied István, President of the Jewish Community of Keszthely〕 Today it is accessed through the archway of Pethő House located on Kossuth Lajos Street #22.〔http://www.seeuinhungary.com/balaton/keszthely.htm〕 The building was erected according to tradition on a lower level as compared to its surroundings. Its East-West length, breadth and height are almost equal. The inside is surrounded on 3 sides by a gallery for women supported by iron columns. The original neo-classical architecture is still preserved on the East side of the synagogue.〔"Short History of the Synagogue in Keszthely" by Goldschmied István〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Keszthely Synagogue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
