The renovated synagogue in Žiežmariai will become a new cultural center.
The first synagogue in appeared sometime between 1690 and 1696. In the
19th century there three synagogues. Not surprising, since the majority
of the population were Jewish. This synagogue which has survived and has
now been renovated stands in the southern part of town between Vilniaus
and Žalgirio streets, with the Strėva river flowing from southeastward from there.
