The two-storey hipped roof building with corner pilasters was built at the beginning of the 19th century. From 1887 to 1939 the building served the Jewish community as a community hall and as an elementary and religious school with a teacher's apartment.
It was used as a residential building until the 1980s. It is the only stone testimony of the Hirschaid Jewish community. The empty building is threatened with decay.
