At the end of the 18th century, a small community of Ashkenazi Jews emerged in Bergen op Zoom. They used the attic of the Boterwaag as a synagogue. When they could no longer find a place there, King William I gave them 1,000 guilders to build a synagogue. This was built on the Parade, a part that is now the Koevoetstraat. Two houses were demolished for it, but the medieval cellars remained intact. The synagogue was completed in 1832 and consecrated in 1833.
