The synagogue was built in the second half of the 18th c. and was burnt by the Germans during the Second World War. Its dimensions: 19X19.5m, height: l6m.
The women's sections were at the northern and southern parts of the ground floor as well as the gallery over the learning rooms at the west. The almost square men's synagogue was on a lower level than the entrance room and was covered with an octagonal dome with its center coming down a little into the hall.
