Vilnius Kenesa
Vilnius Kenesa (Lithuanian: Vilniaus kenesa) is a Karaite Judaism Kenesa in Žvėrynas, one of the neighborhoods of Vilnius, which was consecrated in 1923. Its windows has Moorish Revival architectural style decor on the exterior.
In 1949 the Kenesa was nationalized and a club, an archive and flats were established in it. On 23 September 1988 the Kenesa was returned to the Karaites community. In 1989–1993 the Kenesa was reconstructed and original interior plan with its decor elements were restored.
