The wooden synagogue of Alanta is one of the few surviving wooden houses of prayer of this type in Lithuania. Judging from the architecture, it is assumed that this prayer house was built in the second half of the 19th century. Its facades are divided by straps, the windows of the men's hall are semi-circular arches, surrounded by profiled edges, while the two-story part has small rectangle windows. The specific shapes of the building were determined by certain requirements: divisions into men's and women's sides, places for reading the Holy Scriptures (bimas) and storage. After World War II, this synagogue was used as a grain warehouse.
The synagogue has been reconstructed and will be handed over to the administration of the Molėtai district municipality in order to adapt the cultural heritage object protected by the state to the implementation of the Municipality's cultural and educational tourism (exhibitions, expositions, introduction to the history of the synagogue building and the local Jewish community) activities.
