On November 15, 1894, with presence of Križevci mayor Ferdo Vukić, general assembly of the Jewish community talked and adopted the proposed development of the new synagogue.

Architecture studio Hönigsberg & Deutsch was selected to build the new synagogue, and furniture company Bothe & Ehrmann to adapt the interior.

Two torahs have been saved by Adela Weisz with the help from her non-Jewish friends, which are now located at the Jewish museum in Belgrade.

[4] Following restoration in 2014, the former synagogue has served as the new headquarters for the Križevci Tourist Board and local community sports associations.
