When the Jewish communities in Hungary split into Orthodox and Neologism in the mid-19th century, there were communities that refused to join either denomination. These groups are known as the Status Quo Ante. This community had the impressive Status Quo Ante Synagogue built in 1899/1900. The renowned Austrian architect Jakob Gärtner was responsible for its construction.
