Synagogue Garbarska - private synagogue, located in the Polish town of Szydłowiec.

The synagogue was built in 1730 for Jewish workers local tanneries Eisenberg family, who were the owners of the plants. It was a small building (h meters) for about 100 parishioners. The building was built of brick and local stone in the shape of a rectangle. Classic architecture with Baroque details have been preserved only partially.

After the outbreak of the Second world war, the synagogue was destroyed by the Nazis. In the postwar years the building has for many years remained neglected and not repaired. Finally, in the fifties of the twentieth century, there was opened the conference room. After the reconstruction the building was almost completely rebuilt, retaining only the front facade with a very stout front porch. The facade is partly preserved frescoes depicting a bottle of wine, fruit plate, star of David and illegible inscription in Hebrew. The rest of the building was rebuilt.

Currently in the former synagogue is a catering company which is on the West side of the building built a stage for various cultural events.
