Among its characteristics, there are its cupola, its entrance with archways and articulate motifs, its stained glass windows with geometric motives.
During the second world war the synagogue had been destroyed partially. The exterior walls were intact but the inside was severely damaged. It has been rebuilt after the war.
A the beginning of the eighties, the synagogue has been definitely closed as a place of worship because of a too small community.

The first exhibition at the synagogue took place in 1993. For 15 years a lot of artists came to this atypical art centre. It get an own identity and a real radiant on the local and the international stage thanks to artists. Among them, Daniel Buren, Ann Veronica Janssens, Jean-Marc Bustamante, François Morellet, Tadashi Kawamata or more recently Stéphane Dafflon, Delphine Coindet, Jeppe Hein, Jugnet and Clairet, Peter Downsbrough, Katinka Bock, Julien Prévieux … brought their own point of view of the modern art centre through art works in situ.
With modest dimension, the synagogue is located in the middle of Lorraine Region in a rural area. It always considered itself as a place of production and research for artists. The art centre want to establish a real dialog with its public.
