History
The first synagogue on this site was built in 1856. The present one was built between 1891 and 1892 according to the plans of the architect Bach Nándor from Vác. The Talmud Torah prayer house on the south side of the synagogue was completed in 1927. By this time the Jewish population of the city was around 8,000.
It was the centre of Orthodox Jewry in Szatmár. Today it is used by the (neological) Israelite Community of Szatmár. In the courtyard of the synagogue is a memorial to the deportees (about 20,000 Jews from Szatmár). The town once had three large synagogues (Orthodox, Status Quo and one in Németi) and of the twenty-five shuls and prayer houses, only this one is still standing.
