Biographical/Historical Information

Also known as the Semper Synagogue, as it was designed by Gottfried Semper (1803-1879), it was constructed from 1838 to 1840, and was inaugurated in 1840. The interior was lavishly outfitted with columns copied form the Alhambra in a Moorish revival style that was widely admired and imitated elsewhere.
