In 1897, the famed architect Lipót Baumhorn, nicknamed “The father of Synagogues", finishes the plans for the new temple to be built in the Fabric district, and a building permit is soon obtained in the same year on the 28th of July, with local architect József Kremer being responsible for construction. Finished in two years, and inaugurated on the 3rd of September 1899, the temple is remarkable through its play of textures, the use of visible brick, stone ornaments, and the rhythm created on the façade by the arcade frieze. Morphologically, the synagogue mainly uses Romanesque motifs blended with some Moorish influences. The building's dome and richly ornate interior are especially impressive.
