In 2027 we celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Synagogue

An anniversary to celebrate together

In 2027, the Amersfoort Synagogue will celebrate its 300th anniversary. A special milestone for the Jewish community in Amersfoort and far beyond. Since its consecration in 1727, the synagogue has been a place of prayer, encounter, tradition, and connection. For three centuries, this monument has held a permanent place in the city and in the lives of generations, members, and visitors.

This anniversary is a moment to reflect on the past, to commemorate and celebrate, but also to look ahead. Because the synagogue is not a museum: it is a living space, where history and the present continue to intersect.
