The original synagogue was erected of stone in 1536. The current synagogue was built in the 2nd half of the 18th century in the style of Late Baroque. The interior of the synagogue was ornamented with rich polychrome on the walls and ceiling. After it had been destroyed in World War II, the synagogue was reconstructed and thoroughly renovated in 1953, and dedicated to a cinema theatre “Wisła” (in operation until 2003), however, the painted decorations were not restored. Today, the prayer room houses a permanent museum-like exhibition, while side rooms are used as rooms to let for tourists.
