Synagoge
Neo-Gothic synagogue. From 1950 to 1983 Reformed Church (Liberated), then Dutch Reformed Church. The building of the Dutch Reformed Church was built as a synagogue and dates from 1868. The Jewish community in Culemborg grew to around 200 members at the end of the 19th century. This made the construction of a house of prayer necessary. The synagogue was built in neo-Gothic style. Characteristic are the 3 pinnacles on the front facade and the pointed arch windows. The old synagogue, housed in an abbey right next to the new synagogue, was converted into a mikveh (bathhouse) and religious school. All these Jewish institutions ensured that the street on which they were located soon became known as Jodenkerkstraat, a name it still has today.
