Summary/Abstract: Based on documentary sources, the article provides detailed information about the history and fate of the Golden-Domed (choral) Synagogue in Hlukhiv (Sumy region, Ukraine), which was destroyed during World War II. At the same time, for the first time, all available information about the external appearance, internal premises and interiors of the synagogue was collected and presented. By comparing visual sources (drawings and plans of the synagogue, as well as photographic documents depicting this building at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries), an attempt was made to describe the appearance and internal equipment of the synagogue. The documents used in the article and the complete plans for the lost Golden-Domed Synagogue are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.
