The building, constructed in 1871, functioned as the Centraal Israëlitisch Weeshuis (Central Israelite Orphanage) and housed circa 50 children. During the Second World War, in the year 1942, the children of the orphanage were deported. After the war, the building was used as part of the Wilhelmina Kinderziekenhuis. It was renovated by the architect Ruth van Eck-Rotholz and redeveloped as Joods Cultureel Centrum.

The synagogue inside the building was located in the back of the first floor and has since been used by the Liberaal Joodse Gemeente Utrecht. The synagogue was rededicated in 2004.
