The Kielce Synagogue was a synagogue in Kielce, Poland. Designed by Stanisław Szpakowski, it was built between 1901 and 1903 on the grounds donated by Mojżesz Pfefer. The temple was desecrated by the Nazis during World War II, and turned into a prison and storage facility for stolen Jewish property. Under the communists the building was abandoned from 1945 to 1951. The adjoining mikvah and Rabbi's home were destroyed in the 1970s. The structure has been renovated and some architectural elements altered. Today it serves as a State Archive.
