The official inauguration date is 01 November 1863.The building was sold by the Jewish community in 1938. Before it was used as a church by the Catholic community in 1947, the building was used as a warehouse for building materials and supplies by the military. In 1962 the building was demolished to build a road crossing. Since 1991, there is a memorial plaque at the former site.
