Until the 18th century there is little information about prayer rooms/synagogues. However, in the second half of the 17th century there is said to have been a synagogue (or at least a prayer room) in the village. According to a tradition it was built in 1677. The drawing of the wedding stone with this year is still known. Another source mentions the year 1706 for a synagogue building. This was an addition to one of the "Jews' houses", which was demolished in 1942, or a prayer house on the same property as the later synagogue of 1799.

A synagogue was built in 1782. The Jewish community was able to acquire the property Hauptstraße No. 17 from Löw Jacob in that year. In the house standing on this property the first-mentioned Jew Haimb had already lived in 1685. The synagogue was the center of Jewish life in Weisendorf for about 120 years. The synagogue building also housed the schoolroom and the ritual bath. The prayer room had a wooden barrel vault.
