The Uzhgorod Synagogue was dedicated in 1910. It was built in a flamboyant Romantic style, boldly intermingling Byzantine and Moorish elements.

Since World War II the building has housed the Regional Philharmonic Society with the Transcarpathian Folk Choir served as Uzhgorod’s concert hall, prized for its acoustics. All Jewish symbols have been removed, although as of 2012 there is a plaque on the front wall of the building commemorating the 85,000 Jews from Zakarpattia who died in the Holocaust.
