The Cold Synagogue in Mogilev is a rare surviving example of Jewish religious architecture in Belarus. Built in the 17th century, it earned its name from the unheated interior, which kept worshippers cool in summer but cold in winter. The building features a simple brick exterior with arched windows and a gabled roof. Today, it stands as a poignant reminder of the once-thriving Jewish community in Mogilev. Though no longer an active synagogue, it is occasionally used for cultural events and is a must-see for history enthusiasts.
