      • The synagogue was built in 1883–1893 to a design by Ivan Shaposhnikov and Lev Bakhman with the participation of Vladimir Stasov and Nikolai Benois.
      • The main donors were Baron Günzburg and Samuil Polyakov.
      • The vestibule has special acoustics: a whisper can be heard from more than 10 metres away.
      • In January 1930 the synagogue was closed, but after the community complained to the All-Russian Central Executive Committee it was reopened in June of the same year.
