Today only few documents are left to remind us that there used to stand a synagogue in the hotel’s yard. It was first mentioned in a survey of about 1799, which reveals that it had been built in the yard of the estate building that neighboured on the south to a contemporary inn and operated as a slaughterhouse. According to records, it burnt down both in the fire of 1805 and of 1826, but was repeatedly rebuilt after each devastation. The Israelite house of worship was used as late as 1904 according to its proper function until the new synagogue erected and now standing in Ady utca was inaugurated, following which it was transformed into a cinema. Edison mozgó (Edison’s Motion Pictures) was the first commercial film theatre of the town, which was established by Béla Gábor, the father of Miklós Gábor, the well-known actor. World War II failed to spare this building: in the spring of 1945 the German set the building on fire.
