The Zamelis Synagogue (Lithuanian: Zamelio sinagoga) is a former synagogue in Vilnius, Lithuania.[1]
History
The Synagogue was built at the beginning of the 19th century, between 1817 and 1833. It was actively used until 1940.[2] After World War II it was used as a warehouse and apartment complex. At the end of the 20th century, the building was abandoned.
Current state
In 2015 the reconstruction works in the abandoned synagogue started.[2][3][4]
Currently the building is not used for religious activities, but hosts various cultural events.[5]
