The Gwoździec Synagogue was a synagogue located in the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in what is now Hvizdets in Ukraine. Built in the mid-17th century, the synagogue endured severe damage during the First World War, and was destroyed by the Nazis in 1941. The synagogue is notable for its highly elaborate ceiling decorations, which were reconstructed at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. Read more on Wikipedia
