Joseph Kornhäusel designed the synagogue in the Biedermeier style, built from 1824 to 1826. The infobox also lists Classical Revival.

The interior is oval, with a ring of twelve Ionic columns supporting a two-tiered women's gallery and a dome lit by a central lantern. The article gives no dimensions or materials.
During Kristallnacht in November 1938 it was not destroyed, because the surrounding buildings could not be burned without also burning it.
