A magnificent synagogue built in the 17th century for Sephardic Jews from Spain and Portugal. Its atmosphere is magnificent.

Built in 1675, this huge synagogue is a spectacular stone building still in use today. Its construction was commissioned by Jews from Spain and Portugal who had fled their countries under the Inquisition. The building, oriented towards the Temple of Jerusalem, is lit by large, magnificent skylights. The interior is also unchanged since the 17th century: no heating or electricity, just sand on the floor for humidity and candles for warmth. A must-see, the atmosphere here is timeless.

Belle synagogue avec des explications très claires et souvent très intéressantes via l'audioguide.
Le prix est un peu prohibitif et nous n'y serions pas entrés si nous n'avions pas mis autant de temps pour trouver la synagogue.

Cette grande synagogue est interessante a visiter . Elle a ete preserve depuis des siecles et vous y trouverez un edifice a architecture remarquable. Meme de exterieur cela vaut le coup d'y faire un tour!

La synagogue est sympathique mais sans plus. Je m'attendais à quelque chose de plus spectaculaire et j'ai été déçu. Si vous passez devant avec la IAmsteram card, pourquoi pas; sinon ça ne vaut pas le coup de faire un détour.

Completely in agreement with michalak.
To see flawless. One of the most impressive buildings in Amsterdam.

A visiter absolument, même si l'entrée est un peu chère ( couplage avec le musée juif 12 €).
Cet immense édifice impressionne par la lumière qui le pénètre au travers de ses grandes baies vitrées. Le dépouillement du lieu et émouvant. Rien ou presque n'a été modifié ou rénové depuis sa construction.
Les commentaires de l'audioguide sont très bien conçus et permettent d'appréhender au mieux l'histoire et le présent de ce lieu.
