The neo-Romanesque building with an octagonal floor plan designed by the architect Jakob Modern was built between 1868 and 1870 under the direction of Károly Benkó. In the first 50 years of its existence, the congregation grew to over 5,500 members, which made it necessary to expand.

In 1925 a competition was announced, which the Budapest engineer Dávid Jónás won. However, only the cheapest suggestion from Pittel and Brausewetter AG could be implemented. Services could be held again in the summer of 1926; the final work, however, dragged on until November 1927.

After the deportation of countless European Jews in World War II, it was consecrated a second time in 1946. As the number of parishioners had fallen from 5,700 to 780, the church began to fall into disrepair as insufficient funds could be raised to maintain it.

In 1968 the city of Győr bought the building and used it as an office and warehouse building. In 1973 some areas of the Franz Liszt College moved to the synagogue.

The first restoration measures were taken in the 1980s. In 1994/95 the facade was thoroughly restored. An interior restoration - the first in the history of the synagogue - began in 2004. Since 1990 it has served as a cultural venue.
