Asset Overview
The Fabric New Synagogue in Timișoara, is a Neologue synagogue in the Fabric quarter of the Romanian city of Timișoara, in the region of Banat. It was built when Timișoara was a part of Transylvania and integrated in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The style is Neo-Moorish; it remains one of the most impressive buildings in the city.
The year of the foundation of the first synagogue on this site is disputed. Some opinions date it to the year 1838, others, to 1841. The temple was first opened for a Jewish community that, after 1870, joined the so-called "Status Quo Ante" trend of Hungarian and Transylvanian Judaism.
