The Konin Synagogue was built on the site of an old wooden temple. For many years it was the seat of the Provincial Public Library and the Provincial Cultural Center. At the beginning of the 21st century it was sold to a private individual who did not agree to the library's further operation.
The present synagogue was set up in the 1920s. Before that, there was a wooden object from the eighteenth century. Unfortunately, due to bad technical condition and fear of collapsing, it was decided to demolish the building.
In the second half of the nineteenth century it was decided to renovate the present temple. It was given the features of oriental style, added oriental decoration, bimen poles, vaults, and a two-storey building was added in which the women's and the vestibule were added. In front of the synagogue there is an original, stylized fence cut, decorated with numerous stars of David.
During the Second World War, the synagogue was devastated by the Nazis, who first set up a stall in it and then warehouses. After the war, the object remained empty for many years. Only in the eighties of the last century was renovated and a library was built inside.
