The Hochfelden synagogue (French: Synagogue de Hochfelden), is a Jewish synagogue and museum, located at 1012 Général Koenig Square, in Hochfelden, in the departement of Bas-Rhin, in the Alsace region of France.[1]
During the 17th century there was a synagogue nearby the current location. However it fell out of use and a new building in the Baroque Revival style was completed in 1841;[2] [3] and renovated in 1893.[4] The synagogue was listed as a monument historique on 10 April 1996.
On 10 January 1799 the municipal government publicly condemned the practice of attending synagogue.
The synagogue also holds a now-defunct Jewish school.[5]
