What travelers are saying

Best is a guided tour because otherwise a lot of the refinement will go by unnoticed.

This was built in the 30s and survived basically intact WWII.

Wonderfull buiding, inevitable visit because of the history, very kind guides with their interesting stories.

Groundbreaking

Most synagogues I have seen are either classic buildings or very modern ones. This was built in the 30s and survived basically intact WWII. The architect is de Bazel. The tour (1h15m) was absolutely great.

Fascinating stories

I was part of a small group that had a guided tour to the synagogue and our guide was excellent and had fascinating stories about the synagogue and its community. The building itself was beautiful, with interesting art deco style detailing.

Historical must

It does not matter if you are religious or not, if you believe in the evil of men or not. This place is a sad reminder of what happened after WWII in this region of Twente. Before, there were almost all religions living happily, now,...More
