The Renaissance fortress synagogue building was built in 1626 in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, and it was the religious, educational and community centre of Lutsk Jews until the invasion of Poland in World War II.[3] Partially destroyed in 1942, the synagogue was restored in the 1970s and was subsequently used as a sports club.
