Malmö Synagogue
Malmö Municipality, Sweden · built 1903
The Malmö Synagogue (Swedish: Malmö synagoga) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Föreningsgatan, Malmö, in Skåne County, Sweden. The synagogue was designed by John Smedberg in the Art Nouveau and Moorish Revival styles and completed in 1903. The synagogue is one of the few surviving synagogues in Europe built in a Moorish Revival style, as most of them were destroyed during Kristallnacht 1938. At the inauguration of Malmö Synagogue, it was Malmö's first non-Christian place of worship. Malmö has two Jewish cemeteries: one section in the northern part of Sankt Pauli kyrkogård and another, newer section in Östra kyrkogården. In 2021, the synagogue attracted approximately 5,000 visitors per annum.
