The building was constructed in 1860–1862 and is in the eclectic neo-Renaissance style with Moorish elements. On the richly decorated façade above the main entrance are black marble plaques with the Ten Commandments. On the façade and the side walls are two-part arcade windows with unique colorful stained glass from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The wall paintings with plant motifs have an oriental character. The ceiling of the synagogue's main prayer room and the balustrades of the women's gallery are decorated with colourful and gilded stylized patterns. In the center of the main room is the bima and on the podium on the east wall is a monumental Aron Ha-Kodesh made of white marble, surrounded by a pillar balustrade crowned by a large golden half-dome with a crown. The Temple Synagogue has a mikvah, the entrance to which is located at 1 Podbrzezie Street.
