The Ashkenazi Synagogue is located in Sarajevo, on the left bank of the Milyack River, a 5-minute walk from the Latin Bridge. Ashkenazi (an ethnic group of Jews from Central Europe) settled in Sarajevo immediately after the Austro-Hungarian Empire gained power over Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878. In 1893, the Ashkenazi Jewish community acquired a land plot on the left bank of Milyacki for the construction of a synagogue. The project was commissioned by Austrian architect Wilhelm Stiassney, who built several synagogues in Vienna. However, the City Council did not give permission for the construction, requiring significant changes to the project. The final version of the project belongs to the architect Karl Parzhik. Construction began in March 1901, completed in September 1902. The work was supervised by Ludwig Jungwirth, and Ludwig Oisner was involved in the interior design. The synagogue was built in the Neo-Moorish style with its characteristic four corner towers with domes and decorative reliefs on the facade of the building. In the interior design, the influence of European sacred architecture is traced - an elongated three-nave hall with a visual accent on the eastern side. The niche is separated from the rest of the space by a semicircular arch, decorated with ornament trim. The ornament also painted walls and ceiling. In 1964-1965, the building was reconstructed, during which the upper floor was added. A stone menorah (menorah) is installed at the entrance, marking the 400-year history of the Jews in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Ashkenazi Synagogue is currently the only functioning synagogue in Sarajevo.
