Locality with a rather unusual name Indura, located in the Grodno region. From Grodno it's about 27 kilometers on the highway R99. The agro-town has a whole set of classic sights: a manor, a church and a church. However, in addition to this, in Indura you can also see old synagogue.
In the late 90s, the 19th century, Indura was a Jewish settlement. Almost 80% of the inhabitants belonged to the Jews - this is more than 2000 people. Therefore, it is not surprising that a massive stone synagogue was built here.
The building is dated 1885 year.
The shape of the building is quite simple, two-storey, made according to Jewish canons and no frills. The windows on the ground floor are rectangular, those on the second floor are arched and more elongated.
The front façade (also known as the north façade) is distinguished by five windows and two rhizolith towers. The southern facade has only 3 windows, the pediment is almost mirror-like on both sides of the building.
In the Soviet period synagogue used as a collective farm warehouse for inventory and seeds. Because of this, the interior is almost completely lost.
It is not known exactly when the synagogue in the agricultural town of Indura was no longer used for its intended purpose. Most sources indicate the year 1940, but it could have happened much earlier - in 1915.
After the occupation by German troops, the entire Jewish population was deported to the Auschwitz and Treblinka death camps. Therefore, it is unlikely that someone was able to return to their native lands and, accordingly, take up the restoration of the synagogue.
Synagogue in Indura is located in the very center of the agro-town, on Nekrasov street, behind the local executive committee.
