Completed in c. 1640, the synagogue served as a house of prayer until World War II when it was destroyed by Nazis in June 1941.

The synagogue was burned to the ground by the German occupying authorities immediately after their conquest of the town.

Following addition of a women's prayer room on the upper level, the west windows were removed.

In 1765 restoration of the entire building was undertaken and at the beginning of the 18th century the vestibule was enlarged and a women's room was constructed above it.

The Holy Ark was elevated on two levels and composed of elements of varied artistic and material quality.
