History

The synagogue was built in 1899-1900 according to the designs of Jacob Gärtner, a Viennese architect. The town's first synagogue, built in 1857, no longer met the needs of the growing status quo ante congregation at the end of the 19th century, so in 1898 the architect was commissioned to draw up plans. The eclectic style synagogue was inaugurated in 1900.
