The Wołpa Synagogue stood in the village of Vowpa in western Belarus. It was built around 1643 of timber in a vernacular style and altered in minor ways several times. It was listed as a Polish Monument of Culture in 1929.
The main hall measured about 43 by 42 feet (13 by 12.8 meters), and its vault rose in three tiers to about 46 feet (14 meters). The ceiling was described as the most magnificent of all known wooden ceilings in Europe. In the early nineteenth century it was painted dark sapphire with gold stars. The Torah ark was multi-tiered, painted and carved, with columns, menorahs and an eagle.
The synagogue was burned by the Germans during the Second World War, probably in November 1942. In 2015 an exact replica was built in Biłgoraj, Poland.
