Sephardic Jews first came to Bordeaux following their expulsion from the Iberian Peninsula in 1492 due to the Alhambra decree. Their numbers were boosted in the 1960s by Jews who left the newly decolonised former French colonies in North Africa.The building was the first major synagogue built after Napoleon emancipated France's Jews; it was finished in 1812. In 1873, it was destroyed by fire, being rebuilt nine years later. The new building on a new site was designed by Charles Bruguet, followed by Charles Durand and Paul Abadie. The 660,000 French franc cost came from donations, including significant contributions from the Sephardic Jewish Pereire banking family, as well as from local and national government. It was France's biggest synagogue when it was reopened.
