History

Jews were allowed to settle in Kolozsvár in 1848. By 1887, the Neologue synagogue, decorated with oriental style elements, was built according to the plans of Hagner Isidor. The Romanian Iron Guard plundered the synagogue on 13 September 1927. It is currently the only functioning synagogue in the town.
