The Lendava Synagogue (Slovene: Sinagoga Lendava, Hungarian: Lendvai Zsinagóga, German: Synagoge von Lindau) is a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in the small town of Lendava, Slovenia, a town that is close to the Hungarian border. The former congregation was established in 1773 and worshiped in the Ashkenazi rite. The former synagogue was completed in 1866 and was used as a synagogue up until 1944, when the community perished in The Holocaust.
Left vacant for many years, the former synagogue was repurposed as a Jewish museum, called the Galerija-Muzej Lendava, in the mid-1990s. The museum has a permanent exhibition on local Jewish history.[1]
