context_page_description: The New Synagogue in Ostrów Wielkopolski, Poland, is located in the city's center on 21 Raszkowska Street, which was the northern edge of the former Jewish district.
  Currently, this is the only preserved metropolitan synagogue. It is built in the once very popular Moorish Revival style. It is the most precious monument of religious architecture in Ostrów Wielkopolski. Long neglected, the synagogue has been fully restored in 2010. See the municipal website for updates:
context_section_description: The one room rectangular main prayer hall has wooden semicircle arches and arcades, a two-level gallery with flat ceilings for women. Decorative painting depicting geometric and foliage motifs were scarcely preserved.
  The eastern wall was originally richly decorated with Aron Kodesh which was enclosed in an interior size frame finished with a semicircular arc. A rosette lined with blue and gold rays and rings was preserved on that wall.
  Most of the equipment of the synagogue was removed by the Communists. Dim light used to come through stained glass oculus in the front and rear facades and the ox-eye windows placed high on the side facades.
