Synagogue in Imling

The Imling Jewish community initially had a prayer room in a private house in the Grand-Rue. The synagogue was built in the Upper Town in 1846 and was used for worship until 1919 . It was bought by the political community and renovated in 1955. Today it serves as a youth center. The dead of the Imling Jewish community were buried in the Sarrebourg Jewish cemetery . The Jewish community had belonged to the Israelite consistorial district of Metz since 1808 .

In a private garden there are still remains of a ritual bath ( mikveh ).
