Kazinczy Street Synagogue

Kazinczy Street Synagogue is an Art Nouveau orthodox synagogue built between 1912 and 1913 Budapest VII. district, 29-31 Kazinczy Street number. It is one of the most characteristic works of Hungarian synagogue architecture before the First World War.

The Löffler brothers' building designs were inspired by the Lechner Art Nouveau nationalist architecture of the post-World War I era, while also incorporating the formal influence of the late Viennese Art Nouveau. Elegant facades and sparingly decorated details add a dignity to the monumental block, which is architecturally state-of-the-art. The site designated for construction was rather narrow to carry out such a grandiose design, so the wing buildings flanking the main façade were terraced, so that the divided mass of the façade (approaching Rákóczi Street) seems to dominate and close Kazinczy Street.
