About the place
The temple was designed by the architects Enderle and Freiwald and built between 1864 and 1866, almost as a copy of the Leopoldstadt temple in Vienna. The facade has two-coloured brickwork, small towers and a large rose window above the entrance, and inside there are arches, decorative painting and the ark for the Torah scrolls.
In January 1941 the Legionnaires devastated the synagogue; it was restored in 1945, and the main hall was renovated and reopened in 2015. The temple is still an active synagogue, with daily services in the small hall. A Holocaust memorial stands in front of it.
