"The Rumbach" then and now from November 2015 to nowadays ... what a fantastic work have been done through the years to restore it, and after 60 years of decay, the Synagogue was finally coming back to life in 2021. Completed in 1872, it was built in the same Moorish style as its larger nearby counterpart, the larger nearby Great Synagogue, at the end of the street. According to the plans of Viennese architect Otto Wagner. Two minaret-like, domed towers rise over the symmetrical façade, whose centre is decorated with double-framed windows and the two stone tablets. The greyish yellow plastering is decorated with strips of red bricks and blue enamel bricks. The octagonal interior is topped by a high and ornate dome, with eight slender iron columns and Moorish-style Alhambra capitals. On the walls, you can find gold, blue and red embossments. It once housed a vibrant congregation. But in 1941, it served as a deportation point for 20,000 Jews—refugees who had fled south after the Nazi invasion of Poland, as well as Jews who had lived in Hungary for decades but lacked proper documentation. All were eventually sent to Kamianets-Podilskyi in Ukraine, where they were executed. The syna

We visited the Rumbach Street Synagogue on Tues 10 June 2025. Such a beautiful and cosy place. The guided tour in english was great with clear explanations . The guide Mr Krisztián Adorján who also does tours in Budapest and tours for this synagogue was excellent, he was so clear in explaining about the history of the synagogue and about how the life of Jews in Hungary, past and present . So we understood how much and how far the Hungarian Jews have come and what the synaggogue and the community meant as well as the struggles, challenges they faced over the years in war time, the holocaust, modernity, the exhausting, sad and painful traumatic experiences of building and rebuilding the community and how they overcome issues and problems. Such a strong and remarkable lovely group of people. May God bless them .

A hidden gem of 19th century architecture, beautifully restored and open to the public on Sunday. Friendly members of the local community will tell you everything about the synagogues past and present. The top floor also hosts an exhibition on Jewish life in Hungary.

I would definitely recommend visiting this place because it truly is so unique. We just couldn’t believe how beautiful this synagogue was! The details and colours were absolutely mesmerizing. The guide was lovely and knew everything about the building and its history.

Very pretty Synagogue and interesting exhibition inside as well. We went here because the entry is way cheaper than the big Synagogue down the street and its is not crowded at all. Had a super friendly almost private Guide explain us everything about the place and the jewish history of Budapest, recommend it to everyone! Sadly now its seems to be only open on sundays.

In summer Budapest don't really have a decent AC(even not in crowded public transportation) so this Synagogue is the only place with really nice AC 😂, there is not much people visiting this place so is not crowded inside, there is many clean toilets inside, you can keep your bags downstairs in a free locker, the entrance fee is 3000 HUF . There is a cafeteria but was closed when we were there, there is a gift shop before the exit door, in the last floor there is a small museum/exposition. The synagogue is almost 100% reconstructed, from far looks really beautiful but if you get closer you can see they actually did a mediocre work(i can paint it better) but still nice if you are interested in Jewish history or history .
