The foundation stone for the construction of the synagogue was laid in 1855, which was acquired by the local community in 1900 for use as a kindergarten. The synagogue served as a church only until the year 1874. After that, the building came into the possession of the Protestant parish, which originally wanted to demolish it to build a community center. However, due to the objection from the state monument preservation, this did not happen. Even today, the synagogue is used as a Protestant community center.
