Abandoned as a synagogue in 1942 during German occupation in World War II, the building is standing and has been used for secular purposes since the 1970s.

[1] By the 16th century, the town was one of the largest Jewish communities in Poland, according to taxation records.

This new synagogue was used for nearly two centuries before it was devastated by the Nazis during World War II, and abandoned by the community during the Holocaust.

A subsequent renovation in the 1970s has enabled the building to be used as a repository for the Polish State Archives.
