The Rumbach-street synagogue, built according to the plans of Austrian architect Otto Wagner and inaugurated in 1874, like many other synagogues of the time, was built in the so-called Moorish style, resembling oriental architecture.

Thanks to the state-of-the-art, iron-framed construction technique of the era, the Rumbach Synagogue is a modern, light, airy structure.
Following decades of neglect and decay, the synagogue underwent a complete renovation and restoration and opened in 2021. Today, the building not only functions as a community space hosting concerts, theatrical performances, events, and as an external exhibition space of the Jewish Museum and Archives but the synagogue also is an active place of worship. There is a kosher café in the building. Men must have their head covered inside the synagogue area.
