La Chaux-de-Fonds - Photos
The neo-Byzantine Synagogue on the Rue du Parc was built from 1894-1896 to serve the Jewish watchmakers and industrialists who played such an important role in the economic and cultural development of La Chaux-de-Fonds during the 19th Century. At that time, the city's Jewish community numbered about 850. (Today, about 300 Jews remain in the city.) |
