About this building
In 1964, the local authorities ordered the closure of all synagogues except this one, which remained the only active place of worship for the Jewish community for more than 40 years. The synagogue complex includes the building and the mikveh. It is now run by the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement.
