Description
While the building’s foundation stone was laid on 28 February 1926, the congregation dates back to 1871 with the original synagogue around the corner. The synagogue is part of a three building precinct, and has a traditional ornate, massive dome which has been renovated in recent years. It also features beautiful stained glass windows and has an old world charm, lovingly cared for and restored.
