In 1877, the architect Stanislas Ferrand entrusted
the construction of the synagogue to Albert Philippe
Le Roy de Bonneville (1849-1913) who was
responsible for the details and interior
ornamentation.
In Romano-Byzantine style, the synagogue can
accommodate 900 people, 600 men on the ground
floor and 300 women in the galleries.
In 1905, during the law of separation of church and
state,the synagogue was given by the Sephardic
community to the consistory. Currently, it mainly
brings together Jews from the Oranese region.
