Completed in c. 1790, the former synagogue building is privately owned and, as of 2024[update], is in a very poor condition.

Evidence of a Jewish community in Svätý Jur dates from before 1529, when the Jews were expelled from the town.

These were demolished by the current owner, who acquired the property after World War II.

The sanctuary (the men's prayer room) on the eastern side is a large rectangular hall, emphasised by three bays of windows in the Rundbogenstil.

When the synagogue underwent a reconstruction in 1876, interior walls were redecorated with Moorish Revival ornaments and a new women's gallery was constructed.
