White Stork Synagogue is a 19th century synagogue in Wrocław (Lower Silesian Voivodeship), Poland, originally founded in 1829. The building was restored in the early 21st century and now functions as a cultural and educational venue focused on Jewish heritage.

Inside there is a restored prayer hall adapted for exhibitions, concerts and public events that interpret the local Jewish community and its history. The site is compact and typically visited as part of Wrocław’s historic centre itinerary.

Constructed for the city’s Jewish congregation in the 19th century, the building ceased to function as a full religious community centre after the Second World War and later underwent conservation and restoration to return it to public use. The restoration recreated key interior features while adapting the space for exhibitions and events.

The synagogue is located in central Wrocław and is within walking distance of the old town. It is part of the city’s network of historic sites and cultural institutions.
