Jedwabne Synagogue

Built in 1770, it was an example of vernacular architecture and one of many wooden synagogues unique to the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

The layered, pitched roof visible in surviving exterior photographs conceals a series of massive trusses from which the great dome is suspended.
