The Maharam's Synagogue was a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, that was part of synagogical complex in Podzamcze, located at 3 Jateczna Street, in Lublin, in the Lublin Voivodeship of Poland. Designed in the Renaissance style and completed in the late 16th or early 17th centuries, the synagogue served as a house of prayer, with several interruptions due to desecration and partial destruction, until World War II when it was destroyed by Nazis in 1942.
