The present Glimåkra Church stands on the site of a medieval stone church, probably built in the late 12th century. In 1612, the troops of Gustav II Adolf (1611-1632) ravaged the area, which partially affected the church, and the bell tower was destroyed. Eventually the church was repaired and a new bell tower was in place by 1696. The increase in population led to the construction of two pulpits in the 17th century. This did not fully meet the needs and in 1706 the church was extended with a north transept, the so-called new church. After considering various options for further extensions to the church, it was decided to demolish it in 1836-37 and replace it with the present building.

The (GAH) Synagogue in Suceava was founded in 1870 by the Gmilut Hasadim society.

The modern building, disproportionate and asymmetrical, appeared as a result of numerous renovations. However, three large windows of the prayer hall and smoll windows of the women's gallery on the second floor on the south façade clearly indicate the nature of the building. The women's gallery is located on the second floor and is now on both sides of the prayer hall: on the west and on the north.
