==History== thumb|left|Jedwabne synagogue destroyed in a 1913 accidental fire First mentioned in 1455 records, on 17 July 1736 Jedwabne received town rights from King Augustus III of Poland, including the privilege of holding weekly Sunday markets and five country fairs a year. A wooden Catholic church with two steeples was built in 1737–1738, and a synagogue around 1770. The Jedwabne synagogue was a fine example of the unique Polish Jewish architectural tradition of wooden synagogues.
