<p>A once-grand synagogue, converted into a swimming pool. Now abandoned and decaying. Somewhere in Poland.</p><p>Built at the start of the 20th century, this Polish synagogue was stripped and desecrated by Nazi forces, who converted it into a swimming pool for soldiers.</p><p>It remained a community pool for 50 years post-war. Now privately owned and hollowed out by a 2023 fire, the building stands as a sad ruin. </p><p><a href="/tags/poland/" rel="tag">#Poland</a> <a href="/tags/history/" rel="tag">#History</a> <a href="/tags/holocaust/" rel="tag">#Holocaust</a> <a href="/tags/abandonedplaces/" rel="tag">#AbandonedPlaces</a> <a href="/tags/urbex/" rel="tag">#Urbex</a> <a href="/tags/urbanexploration/" rel="tag">#UrbanExploration</a> <a href="/tags/ruins/" rel="tag">#Ruins</a> <a href="/tags/lostplace/" rel="tag">#LostPlace</a></p>

<p>⏳ Times up. Sadly, this historical place is about to disappear forever.</p><p>Demolition work is underway on the site, progressing steadily at this 1940s aircraft research facility.

<p>✨Cyrene ✨</p><p>This <a href="/tags/mosaicmonday/" rel="tag">#MosaicMonday</a> we celebrate the princess Cyrene who leant her name to the Greek colony in Libya. In myth she is known as the daughter of Hypseus, king of the Lapiths and the Naiad Chlidanope. Her sons by Apollo were Aristaeus and Idmon. Aristaeus sounds like the kind of god we’d love to met as he was the god of animal husbandry, bee-keeping and cheese making. Idmon became a famed seer. Cyrene herself was famous as a huntress, and reputedly called ‘lionkiller’, and was at times a companion of Artemis.</p><p><a href="/tags/ancientgreece/" rel="tag">#AncientGreece</a> <a href="/tags/ancientrome/" rel="tag">#AncientRome</a> <a href="/tags/history/" rel="tag">#History</a></p>
