Roof-top synagogue

Roof-top synagogue

The Brunswick Terrace Synagogue, also sometimes called the Roof-top synagogue, was a private Orthodox Jewish synagogue that was built on the roof-top of 26 Brunswick Terrace, a terraced-row of houses on the Brunswick Estate in Hove, now a constituent part of the city of Brighton and Hove, in East Su

ssex, England, in the United Kingdom. The synagogue, completed in c. 1852, consists of a small octagonal edifice on the top of a glass room built on the roof of the home of Philip Salomons on the Regency-era terrace house, that was built in the period between 1824 and 1830. Salomons and his family worshipped in the Ashkenazi rite. The synagogue, now disused, is part of a Grade I listed consecutive row of terraced houses that were heritage-listed in 1950.
