Description
The synagogue, designed by András Landherr in the Neo-Classicist style, was erected in 1825. Its western front is adorned with a four-column Corinthian portico under a monumental gable. The prayer hall is spanned with a flat ceiling decorated with stencil paintings, similar to those in the synagogue of Hőgyész. Currently, the building stands abandoned.
