About
A small, well restored and nicely decorated synagogue, built in 1857. For nearly a century it was the centre of Jewish life in Aalten, until World War II. During the war, it was robbed and used as an ammunition depot. After the war, the synagogue fell further into disrepair. After restoration, the synagogue was reconsecrated in 1986 with a solemn Hanukkah celebration.
