During the Khmelnytsky Uprising of 1648 to 1657, and the wars of the 17th century, the town was destroyed by fire several times.

When the Russians took over Pogrebishische in 1919,[3] the wooden synagogue ceased to be a house of worship, and in 1928 the building was converted into a workers' club.

The main hall was built up on three sides: vestibule with upper-level women's prayer area on the west side and low, single-storey women's prayer areas against north and south walls.

The walls were made of horizontal timbers, in the main hall they were reinforced by stiffeners.

In three tiers it was ornamented by winding flora with symmetrically positioned birds and animals.
