For over a century and a half, the Great Synagogue of Stockholm has served as the spiritual hub for Jewish communities in the Swedish capital. Completed in 1870, the Moorish Revival-style building was designed by the renowned Swedish architect Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander. This synagogue, one of the few examples of the Moorish style worldwide, is nestled near Kungsträdgården on Norrmalm and was granted listed status in 1991.
