The synagogue was build in 1919 according the list of donors names, preserved on the western wall of the prayer hall. The wall paintings in the synagogue building's interior were made at approximately in the 1920s, as is made clear by the list of the donors names, which includes the name of the person who contributed money specifically towards this purpose. After WWII, in 1951 the building was converted into a youth club (house of Pioneers) and no longer functioned as a synagogue (Altsuler, p. 454); the paintings were whitewashed with lime, and so preserved over time.

Except for some minor losses due to architectural replanning, virtually the entire composition of the interior is preserved intact.
