The building consists of a single-nave main hall and a women's gallery. At the top of the external facade there are boards of the Decalogue with 10 commandments and the inscription: "What drug is this place filling up! Nothing else but the house of God and the gate of heaven" crowned with a triangular gable. The walls of the synagogue are divided by two cornices into three floors. Between the cornices are semicircular niches for Torah quotes.
