Designed in the Renaissance style and completed in the late 16th or early 17th centuries, the synagogue served as a house of prayer, with several interruptions due to desecration and partial destruction, until World War II when it was destroyed by Nazis in 1942.

In 2007, on initiative of Ośrodek Brama Gordzka-Teatr NN, a 3D model of Maharshal's and Maharam's Synagogues was created, after six months of work by Krzysztof Mucha.

Until today, at least a dozen photographs, drawing and plans from the interwar period remained, thanks to which both internal and external views of the synagogue are known.

The bimah, being short, octagonal, two-entry and surrounded by banister, was located in the middle of the main room for prayers.

Located on the eastern wall was an ark, with Decalogue's memorials and covered by a parochet with the Star of David embroidered.
