Велика хоральна синагога в характерному еклектичному стилі кінця XIX століття з романтичним напрямком мавританського стилю збудована в Кропивницькому в 1853 році.

В 1895 році реконструйована за проєктом відомого єлисаветградського архітектора Олександра Лишневського.  На той час в місті проживало близько 25 тисяч євреїв.

Після Другої світової війни синагога було закрито, будівля перебувала в аварійному стані. Нині вона відреставровано та повернута єврейській громаді Кропивницького.

В 1998 році в приміщенні синагоги розпочали роботу 2 значні проєкти єврейської культури - історичний музей "Євреї Єлисаветграда" (на час створення був першим общинним єврейським музеєм в Україні) та єврейський музично-драматичний театр "Тхія".
