The Wolf Popper Synagogue (Polish: Synagoga Poppera (Bociana)) is a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, that is located at 16 Szeroka Street, Kazimierz, in Kraków, in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship of Poland.
Founded by the eponymous Wolf Popper and completed in 1620, the synagogue served as a house of prayer until it went into decline after the passing of its founder and chief benefactor. The former Popper Synagogue serves as bookshop and also as an art gallery in the women's area upstairs.[2]
