The Institute is located in a grand domed synagogue built in 1913 and designed by Theodor Schreier and Viktor Postelberg. Heavily damaged on Kristallnacht, it was renovated in the 1980s. The Institute opened in 1988 in the cantor’s house next door. There is now an exhibition on Jewish life in St. Pölten.
