The synagogue in Oni , a town in the Ratscha-Letschchumi region and Lower Vanetia in Georgia , was completed in 1895.

The Orthodox synagogue was designed by a Polish architect and served as a religious center for a community of long-established Georgian Jews who made up a third of the population of Oni before the 1970s. The eclectic style synagogue has been renovated in recent years.
