Great Synagogue of Luxembourg
The Great Synagogue of Luxembourg was first built in 1823, but in 1891, the synagogue gave way to the Congregation of Notre-Dame. In 1894, a new Moorish-style synagogue was built according to the plans of the architects Ludwig Levy and Charles Arendt. In May 1941, it was desecrated by the Gestapo and gradually demolished until 1943, as it became difficult to find a company willing to undertake its restoration. The present synagogue, whose plans were drawn up by architects Victor Engels and René Mailliet, was built between 1951 and 1953.
