The synagogue contains a Neo-Classical façade with colossal pilasters and a hipped roof. The rounded arched windows feature wooden tracery. The frieze, running along the sides of the upper part of the walls, contains the Dutch inscription ‘Door Milddadigheid van den besten koning 5593’ and refers to King Willem I who partially financed the project, along with the date of completion (1833 CE). The keystone of the main entrance arch commemorates the day of consecration of the synagogue (August 16, 1833 CE). The interior of the synagogue was provided with a women's gallery which is still present. The mikveh was located in the basement of the building. During the Second World War, most of the interior was destroyed. The building was sold and repurposed as a factory and storage space after the war ended. Renovations took place in 1975 and 1998 during which the mikveh and building were restored. The building is currently used as an exhibition space and as the site of commemoration of the lost Jewish community of Bergen op Zoom.
