History

There was a synagogue nearby the site's ground during the 17th century, but it fell out of use and a new building was eventually established in 1841.[3] The structure was renovated 1893.[1] It became a monument historique on 10 April 1996, and has been ever since.[4]

The Jewish community was persecuted by local authorities. On 10 January 1799 the municipal government publicly condemned the practice of attending synagogue.[3]

The synagogue also holds a now-defunct Jewish school.[5]
