Its style, a mixture of neoclassical and cubist elements, is unique in synagogue architecture. Inside there is the women's gallery on three sides , which can be reached via the stairs on the street-side facade.
During the Second World War , the building was used as a retail store.
The synagogue building of the Hussite Church has served as a place of worship since 1950 .
