Tallinn Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Sadama, Estonia
Tallinn Synagogue is a modern building in the Sadama district made of glass and concrete with minimalist design. Inside, it contains a main prayer hall, gender-separated seating areas, classrooms, and spaces for community gatherings.
The original building dated from 1883 but was destroyed during Soviet air raids in 1944. The new structure was rebuilt decades later, restoring a place of worship that had been absent from the city for generations.
The synagogue serves as a hub for Jewish community life in Tallinn, hosting prayer services, educational activities, and cultural gatherings. It has become a place where people learn about and celebrate Jewish traditions in a contemporary setting.
The building is located in the Sadama neighborhood and welcomes visitors during regular weekday hours. Check ahead before visiting, as opening times may vary due to religious observances or community events.
The structure uses innovative materials and design to create a contemporary interpretation of a sacred space. Its modern architectural approach breaks away from traditional synagogue styles and represents a new chapter for the community.
