Synagogue in Mattancherry, Kochi, built in 1568 according to Kerala Tourism and Hadassah Magazine. Kerala Tourism says the Portuguese destroyed it in 1662 and the Dutch rebuilt it two years later; a visitor page by Richard Franke dates the present building to 1664. As reported in 2017, it holds services on the High Holidays and sometimes on Shabbat during the tourist season.
