Historique
Edifiée de 1843 à 1849 par l'architecte de la Ville, Jean-Baptiste Schacre, la synagogue de Mulhouse est caractéristique de tendance orientalisante qui se fait jour vers 1840 dans l'architecture des synagogues. La présence d'un orgue, exceptionnelle dans un tel édifice, signale l'existence d'une communauté israélite libérale.

History
Built from 1843 to 1849 by the architect of the City, Jean-Baptiste Schacre, the synagogue of Mulhouse is characteristic of the Orientalizing tendency that emerges around 1840 in the architecture of synagogues. The presence of an organ, exceptional in such a building, signals the existence of a liberal Israelite community.
