Zaniomanskaja Synagogue (Belarusian: Занёманская сынагога; Polish: Synagoga drewniana w Grodnie) was a vernacular wooden synagogue located in the city of Grodno, in Belarus. It was built in c. 1750 in what was then the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The synagogue was damaged by a fire in 1899 and then rebuilt, adding two small corner buildings. It was destroyed by the Germans during World War II.[1][2]
