The synagogue was erected in 1872 by the then-emerging Viennese architect Otto Wagner for the Status Quo Ante community of the Hungarian capital. It was constructed in the prevailing Neo-Moorish style characteristic of Ludwig Förster’s guidelines and features a prayer hall based on an octagonal footprint. In 2021, the synagogue was open to the public. It serves as a synagogue, museum, and concert hall.
