Construction of the synagogue began in 1851 and was completed in 1862. It was built with money from the town's Jewish community. In 1895 the building was badly damaged by a fire, but the synagogue was rebuilt in 1896. The synagogue existed in this appearance until 1939.During the war, the Nazis used the synagogue as a storehouse for goods and furniture stolen from Jews. After the town was liberated, the building housed the town club, and in 1946 the cinema "Belarus" was opened. In 2018, a plaque appeared on the building in Russian, Belarusian, English and Hebrew, mentioning the cinema's original history
