The Jewish community of Rijeka collected voluntary contributions for the construction of the synagogue.

The new synagogue was opened on the holiday of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, October 22, 1903.

Large openings of pointy arched three-light mullioned windows were prominent on the façade.

After German retreat from the area of Rijeka, the building was set on fire on January 25, 1944,[3][4] and the price of its restoration was too high so the remains of the damaged synagogue were sold as construction material.
