The Tykocin Synagogue is an historic former Jewish synagogue building, located in Tykocin, Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland.[2] The synagogue was completed in 1643, in the Mannerist-early Baroque style.[3]
Disused as a synagogue during World War II, the building was used for profane purposes, restored during the 1970s, and repurposed as a Jewish museum.[1]
