Endingen is a municipality in the district of Zurzach in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.
In the 18th and 19th century, Endingen was one of few villages in which Swiss Jews were permitted to settle. Old buildings in Endingen have two doors – one for Jews and one for Christians. Endigen's synagogue and Jewish cemetery are listed as a heritage site of national significance.[1] Unusually for Swiss villages, there is no Christian church.
