The site of this synagogue was previously occupied by the private home of the Jewish lawyer Jonas Daniel Meijer (1780-1834). The eclectic style of the building includes neoclassical facades with ashlar plinths, wooden cornices, gothic-inspired pillars and rounded arch windows with iron panes. The entrance of the synagogue is located in the central ressault of the west façade. Upon entering the synagogue, the neoclassical Torah Ark topped by the Stone Tablets and designed by Moritz Meijer can be seen at the eastern end of the building. The galleries on both sides of the longitudinal axis of the building are supported by octagonal columns. During the Second World War, the building was used as a storage space. In 1949/50, the architect J. S. Baars added windows in the plinth of the north façade which visually corresponded with the existing rounded arch windows. These new windows were later removed during a renovation in 2001/03, after which the synagogue was rededicated on November 23, 2003. The adjacent building which contained the mikveh designed by H. J. Heuvelink, the architect which was responsible for the main synagogue, has been demolished.
