Synagogue Building complex

The Grand Jewish synagogue complex is made up of three buildings: a synagogue built in 1875 during the reign of Russian Tsar Alexander II, a house of prayer and a caprica.

The interior of the synagogue was still almost intact in 1945, with a grain storage facility. In 1956, the building began to be converted into a cinema, with cardinals changing the layout of the building. The redevelopment resulted in the building gaining 3 floors. On the ground floor were waiting rooms, wardrobes, an artist's studio and a director's office. A cinema hall with 450 spectators was set up on the second floor, while the third floor housed the Kinomechanger's rooms. The cinema was in the synagogue until 2003.

Planning for the conversion of the synagogue into the main library of Kuldiga maintained the planning of the 50 s, interior elements of the premises – plaster decorations, lighting style, glazed wood partitions. When part of the division between the first and second floors is dismantled, the part of the former altar is accentuated - the place where Torah's ark with Thor was kept.
