In 1816, the community acquired land on which to construct a synagogue, completed in 1822 on relics of the castle of Ingwiller. The Jewish community of Ingwiller reached almost 500 by 1850, but the rabbi was not officially acknowledged. Ingwiller never managed to acquire a rabbinical seat. This place of worship, first camouflaged as a private home, was transformed into a true synagogue by 1870, then enlarged in September 1891 and restored again in 1903.
