History
Designed by Jewish architect Joseph Hertogs[2] in the Moorish Revival style,[3][4] the synagogue was inaugurated on Bouwmeestersstraat 7, in 1893.
Severely damaged by bombings during World War II, in 1944 the building was hit by a Nazi V1 flying bomb, and was entirely renovated in 1958.[1] Although commissioned by an Orthodox Jewish community, the synagogue has a pipe organ built in the balcony, similar to the Dohány Street Synagogue in Budapest, Hungary.
The building was listed as a protected monument on 17 September 1976.[5]
The synagogue is used on Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and for Shabbat morning services only.
