On the corners of the roof of the synagogue are decorative figures carved in stone. At the top of the entrance is a marble slab with a Hebrew inscription engraved on it. Above the inscription, on the same tile, in the right and left corners, the stars of David are depicted, and in the middle of them, the date of construction - "1895".
