The Wołpa Synagogue was a Synagogue in the town of Wołpa (alternative spellings: Wolpa, Volpe, Wolpe, Wolp, Woupa or Voupa) near Białystok, Poland, now in Western Belarus.[1] It was reputed to be the "most beautiful" of the wooden synagogues of the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth,[1] a "masterwork" of wooden architecture.[2] HistoryThe synagogue was built in the first half of the eighteenth century, and altered in minor ways several times.[3] In 1929 the building was listed as a Polish Monument of Culture.[3] It was burnt by the Germans during the Second World War.[3] ArchitectureThe Torah Ark was an elaborate, multi-tiered confection in painted, carved wood, with columns, bas-relief menorahs, vases, floral swags, roofed towers, the tablets of the Ten Commandments and an eagle.[3] In the early nineteenth century, the vaulted ceiling was painted in a "dark sapphire" color spangled with "glistening" gold stars. The walls were painted in naive Trompe-l'œil style to resemble a Classical masonry building.[3] Polish Jewish communities were routinely denied permission to build in masonry.[5] The exterior featured a three-tiered roof and a pair of elaborage corner pavilions with two-tiered roofs over elaborate vaulted ceilings.[3] In 1997, the Yiddish Book Center on the campus of Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, the world's largest repository of Yiddish books and literature, chose to model its building on existing photographs of the Wolpa Synagogue. In 2015, an exact replica of Wolpa Synagogue was built in Biłgoraj, Poland.
