The Jewish City Temple was built in the years 1825-26 by Josef Kornhäusel, the most eminent architect of the Vienna Biedermeier era.

Exhibits in the Jewish Museum

He designed the building's interior and the religious objects as well. Since only Catholic buildings were places of worship permitted to stand adjacent to major streets, the Synagogue was fitted into an apartment complex: This is the reason that it was the only building, of 94 Jewish synagogues and temples, to survive Reichskristallnacht (November 9-10, 1938) without being completely destroyed.
