The New Synagogue. It was destroyed by the Nazis, but has been rebuilt. I don't like it very much. It looks too much like a church. And although I love churches, with their stained glass windows, paintings and sculptures, candles, and so on, I don't think that synagogues should try to emulate their style. But maybe I am biased, because my own synagogue takes place in a school gymnasium, with the arc underneath a basketball net.
