In 1820 the Community built a veritable synagogue, due to the architect Léopold. The neoclassical architecture of its facade is characteristic of the 1st Empire. Here, freestone and moldings, balusters and cornices were used, introducing a certain monumentality.
During the occupation, the interior of the synagogue was ransacked, and its facade partially damaged by bombardments. At liberation, only the chandelier and some stained-glass windows were still intact; the latter had spent the war in the garden of a notable. After the war, the synagogue was remodeled and inaugurated in 1958. The new stained-glass windows are the work of Ruhlmann, a Hague artist.
