Tallinn Mosque, Islamic center in Lasnamäe, Estonia
Tallinn Mosque is an Islamic center located within an office building in Lasnamäe, offering prayer rooms and gathering spaces for religious activities. The facility serves as both a place of worship and a venue for educational programs about Islamic traditions.
The first Muslim congregation in Tallinn was established in 1939, but the current facility opened much later in 2008. This long gap reflects how organized Islamic presence in the city was rebuilt after decades of interruption.
The center brings together Muslims from different ethnic backgrounds, including Tatars and Azerbaijanis, creating a shared space for prayer and community connection across various Islamic traditions.
The center is easily accessible by public transportation, with Ülemiste Station within walking distance. Visitors should check prayer times in advance, as they change throughout the year with the seasons.
The center is noteworthy as a place where both Sunni and Shia Muslims pray together, which is uncommon in Estonia. This religious cooperation shows how smaller communities find practical ways to bridge their differences.
