The '''Pińczów Synagogue''', also known as the '''Old Synagogue in Pińczów''', is an historic former [[Judaism|Jewish]] [[synagogue]] building, located in [[Tykocin]], [[Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship]], [[Poland]]. The synagogue was completed in 1609 in the [[Renaissance architecture|Renaissance]] style.

== History ==
It is one of the oldest synagogues in Poland, built between 1594 and 1609.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Stiefel |first1=Barry L. |title=Jews and the Renaissance of Synagogue Architecture, 1450–1730 |date=2015 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=9781317320326 |page=66 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=s4hECgAAQBAJ |accessdate=18 November 2018 |language=en}}</ref> It was damaged during [[the Holocaust]], which led to its disuse. Restoration on the building began in the 1970s, led by the Pińczów Regional Museum, with most of the repairs completed by 1998.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lehrer |first1=Erica |last2=Meng |first2=Michael |title=Jewish Space in Contemporary Poland |date=2015 |publisher=Indiana University Press |isbn=9780253015068 |page=211 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qpzCBwAAQBAJ |accessdate=18 November 2018 |language=en |via=[[Google Books]] }}</ref>
