The present-day 'front' synagogue on the Tiche Square (Tiche namesti) was built between 1639 and 1642. A contemporary report had it that in 1757 the synagogue had to be lowered because it dwarfed the surrounding houses and the ceremonial lighting of its interior was visible from miles off, marring Maria Anna's scenic view from the Trebic Castle. Maria Anna, by birth the Princess of Lichtenstein, was the wife of the owner of the estate Emanuel Filibert.

The old synagogue had to be repaired in the aftermath of the fires in 1759 and 1821 and thoroughly renovated in 1856-1857 when it probably acquired its retro-Gothic style windows and pointed arches characteristic of its present-day appearance. Further partial changes in the appearance of the synagogue were made in 1880 and 1922. During the World War II the synagogue was damaged by Nazi troops, being used as a storehouse. In 1952 the synagogue was sold to the Czechoslovakian Hussite Church, which adapted the building to suit their religious service. The Front Synagogue had basically the traditional character of a simple, free-standing, one-story building with a rectangular ground plan and a hip roof. The layout of the synagogue's interior was influenced by Christian temples: the building was entered through a small porch located in the western wall, a raised pulpit was placed beside the tabernacle on a small platform with a semicircular balustrade. According to the traditional Jewish religious service men pray separately from women. Wooden benches for men were arranged lengthwise along the longer walls of the synagogue and below the gallery. Women could use the outer staircase to get to the gallery located on the second floor. The balcony of the gallery was supported by two massive pillars. The main nave had a tub-shaped vaulting and was lit from three sides, through two tall windows in each side.
