The Nitra Synagogue (Slovak: Synagoga v Nitre) is a historical building in Nitra, Slovakia. The synagogue was built in 1908–11 for the Neolog Jewish community. It was designed by Lipót Baumhorn (1860–1932), the prolific Budapest-based synagogue architect. Situated in a narrow lane, the building is a characteristic example of Baumhorn's style. A melange of Moorish, Byzantine and Art Nouveau elements, it faces the street with a twin-tower façade. The sanctuary is a domed hall supported by four pillars that also support the women's gallery. After more than a decade of painstaking restoration by the municipality of Nitra, the building is now used as a center for cultural activities.The women's gallery houses "The Fate of Slovak Jews" – Slovakia's national Holocaust memorial exhibition. The synagogue serves as a permanent exhibition space for graphic works by the Nitra-born Israeli artist Shraga Weil.
