Detail InformationEdit

The Grande synagogue de Lyon is a synagogue located at 13 quai Tilsit in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon. This neo-Byzantine place of worship was built from 1863 to 1864. It was classified as a monument historique in 1984.In the early nineteenth century, the Jews of Lyons were few, and their community was originally attached to the Consistory of Marseille. As the Jewish population increased, a communal rabbinate was formed on 11 November 1849. The first place of worship, located in a rented hall in the rue Écorche-Bœuf (now called rue Port-du-Temple), was replaced at the end of its lease, for a flat in the rue Bellecordière; then on 25 June 1850 a new temple was inaugurated in the rue Peyrat (now rue Alphonsus Fochier).
On 23 October 1857, Emperor Napoleon III, by decree, created a regional Consistory which gathered communities in the departments of Rhone, Loire, Isère, Ain, Jura, Saône-et-Loire and Doubs. On 24 June 1858, the first regional Chief Rabbi took office and, on 5 December of the same year, the Consistory received its charter.On 4 May 1858, a new temple opened on the Place Bellecour in a rented hall, but the community wanted to build a synagogue that could properly represent the community. On 5 December 1859, the Consistory solicited to Senator and prefect of Lyon Claude-Marius Vaïsse a land to build a synagogue. On 3 September 1860, the city of Lyon proposed to the community a plot of land in the Jardin Des Plantes and the Montée des Carmélites in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon. The construction commission, specially created on 6 March 1861 to manage the construction project of the synagogue, issued a negative opinion about the location proposed by the mayor, and suggested the area of Customs located on quai Tilsitt, which was refused.
