My mothers oldest sister, Sabina married in 1938 in Nozyk Synagogue at Twarda 6. On the wedding day she left her parents home at Twarda 3, on opposite side of the street in wedding wagon pulld by horses. To make the trip a bit longer , they surrounded Plac Grzybowski several times. There is no wedding picture!
Zalman Nożyk and his wife Ryfka financed that temple. The building was designed by Leandro Marconi, a son of the Italian-born architect Enrico Marconi. The façade is neo-romanticist, with notable neo-Byzantine elements. The building itself is rectangular, with the internal chamber divided into three aisles.
The synagogue was officially opened to the public on May 26, 1902
