The Grand Choral Synagogue of St. Petersburg (Russian: Санкт-Петербургская Большая Хоральная Синагога) sometimes called the St. Petersburg Synagogue is the second largest synagogue in Europe. It was built between 1880 and 1888 and consecrated in 1893. Poet Osip Mandelstam called the Petersburg Synagogue a lavish outstandish seductress.
