The two-storey hipped roof building was oriented exactly to the east and had a width of 7.80 m and a length of 9.20 m. The room height was 6 m. As early as 1870, regular services could no longer be held, as the number of parishioners fell sharply due to emigration and emigration.

The last service took place at a wedding in 1891. After that the synagogue building remained empty. It was finally sold in 1927. The synagogue building was converted into a residential building by the new owners, which has been preserved to this day.
