Abandoned synagogue in Romania (one of the most beautiful abandoned buildings)

Inside this forgotten synagogue, we marveled at a fading beauty no one is allowed to witness anymore. With the help of a local friend, we stepped inside, hoping to capture the fading history before being lost forever. Watch this documentary if you want to see more of this stunning place: https://youtu.be/VfQseliMByg

Most of the surviving Romanian Jews moved to Israel after the war

clears throat: Oh boy! Time to be the first to graffiti some disrespectful stuff in/on there!

Jokes aside, I must say, this is amazing. How’s the smell in there? Is it the typical old abandoned house smell, or is it more like a church-y smell? Is the air dusty or clean? 

Heck I wanna experience that myself…
