Built as a private house of prayer, this synagogue later served the Chevra Nosim (bearers of corpses).

The synagogue was built in 1889 in the classical style as a private house of prayer; after 1905, it belonged to the Jewish Religious Community. After that time, it served as the synagogue of the Chevra Nosim (Bearers of Corpses) burial society.

The Talmudic lectures (Sziur be Cibur) presented by Mosze Ajzenberg and Dawid Muszkatblit became famous. The synagogue, though heavily damaged in World War II, has survived, since it was not located within the ghetto itself. It was renovated after the war and continued to function until 1984, when its Sabbath services were cancelled to lack of a sufficient number of participants (minyan).

After being renovated in 1987, it continues at least in part to serve a religious purpose. In 1987, for example, the bar mitzvah of Jakub Muszkatblit, the great-grandson of the lecturer by that name, was held there. It also houses a Memorial Room of the Lublin Jews, were archival photographs, old Hebrew books and liturgical items are on display.
