The synagogue building was bought in 1947 by Dezider Hačko, a local businessman, and assumed by the state in the following year.

In the late 1980s the town's authority started the restoration with the aim to use the building for cultural purposes, and two facades were given a respectable appearance.

But after the political changes of 1989 half of the property was given back to Hačko who owned the building shortly after World War II and the work stopped.

[2] The synagogue has a three-partite front in the Moorish Revival style and is decorated with horizontal red-yellow stripes, octagonal stars and slim minaretes.

[2][3] The interior is only partially preserved; the women's gallery, supported by cast-iron columns, is without railings and the furnishing has disappeared.
