This synagogue is among the other synagogues of Jewish people belonging to Askenaz community living in İstanbul and the only one that has still been in service.
Located at Yüksek Kaldırım Street at Galata, the synagogue was constructed by Aşkenaz people of Austrian origin. With its facade in European style and the decoration of its Ehal and Teva( prayer desk) in wooden pagoda style with Polish influence,the synagogue displays a different view when compared to traditional Sefarad and Romaniot synagogues.
