The local architect Pierre Marnotte designed the synagogue for the Jewish community, which could acquire land on the Quai Napoléon after an Imperial Decree of May 22, 1867. The community's first synagogue, on Rue de la Madeleine, opened in 1831 and proved too small.
The community asked for a building in the Moroccan style, and the article describes it as Moorish Revival. It is built of stone. The text says it was constructed in 1869 and inaugurated on November 18, while the infobox gives 1870 as the completion date. The article states no dimensions.
It was listed as a monument historique on November 16, 1984. The synagogue is still active and stands at 23 Quai de Strasbourg in the Battant district. The article does not mention restorations or give visiting information.
