Designed in a neo-Byzantine style, its
building was started in 1867 and it was
inaugurated in 1874.
On April 21, 1890, Alfred Dreyfus
married Lucie Hadamard. During the
German occupation, on the night of 2 to
3 October 1941, a bomb exploded in the
Great Synagogue during a night of
attacks on several synagogues in Paris.
After the war, the synagogue began a
renovation, which was not completed
until 1967. This synagogue, owned by
the city of Paris, has been classified as a
historical monument since December
11, 1987.
The instrument was built by Merklin around 1875. It was
at this time that the organ was introduced into the
French Hebrew cult. It was imported from the Germanic
countries where it was then common to use the organ
for the Hebrew liturgy. Around 1960, Gutschenritter
replaced two stops and added a Plein jeu IV to the
Great. Since then, the instrument has only had some
maintenance works by Jean-Marc Cicchero.
Nowadays, it serves mainly for the liturgy of weddings.
