Brandbergen Mosque, Mosque in Brandbergen, Haninge Municipality, Sweden.
Brandbergen Mosque was a Muslim place of worship set inside a residential apartment in the Brandbergen district of Haninge Municipality, south of Stockholm. The space was used for daily prayers and religious gatherings by the local Muslim community.
The mosque opened in the 1990s as the Muslim community in Brandbergen grew and needed a local place for worship. It closed in 2008, ending its role as a neighborhood prayer space.
The mosque was housed in a regular apartment building, making it look no different from the surrounding homes. For Muslim residents in the area, it served as a familiar meeting point for prayer and shared community life.
The mosque is no longer in operation and is not open to visitors. The building sits in a residential area of Brandbergen, reachable by public transport from central Stockholm.
In Sweden, many Muslim communities have historically used ordinary apartments as prayer spaces because purpose-built mosques have been relatively rare across the country. This means such places often go completely unnoticed in the urban landscape.
