Interior of the synagogue in a photograph from the collections of the Jewish Museum in Prague.
In 1926, an Orthodox synagogue was built on the site of the former Žofinské Lázně public baths in Žerotínova Street for the more pious and traditional Jewish worshippers, who were bothered by the use of organs and choral singing in addition to the liturgy used. The Hasidim and other ultra-Orthodox Jewish sects, who were not satisfied not even with this synagogue, had their own prayer rooms and study rooms in Ostrava.
Other representative synagogues were built in Přívoz and Vítkovice, prayer houses existed in Zábřeh, Michálkovice, Hrušov and Mariánské Hory.
