The synagogue of Baden is an Orthodox Ashkenazi-rite synagogue in the city of Baden in the canton of Aargau, Switzerland. It was built in 1912–1913 and is now listed among the Cultural Property of National Significance.[1][2]
History[edit]
The construction of a synagogue in Baden was projected in 1904. In December 1911, the Jewish community of Baden acquired a plot at Parkstrasse 17, in front of today's Grand Casino Baden,[2] for 23,000 francs. Several architects offered to design the building. Eventually, the synagogue was designed by Badener architect Otto Dorer (1851–1920) and his collaborator Adolf Füchslin (1850–1925).[2] It has large semi-circular windows and a richly adorned interior. The synagogue was consecrated on September 2, 1913.[2]
In 1931, around Yom Kippur, the façade of the synagogue was sprayed with swastikas.[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
