Helsinki Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Kamppi, Helsinki, Finland
The Helsinki Synagogue features three central two-story high windows and smooth stucco facades crowned by a prominent religious cupola at Malminkatu Street 26.
Construction of the synagogue began in 1905 after the Jewish community received a plot from Helsinki city authorities, with completion achieved in August 1906.
The synagogue interior contains sculptures of lions from the first prayer room at Suomenlinna Fortress and a blue vault with golden stars facing Jerusalem.
The building includes a congregation center added in 1961, offering facilities such as an auditorium, meeting rooms, and a mikveh for the 1,100 community members.
The structure follows halachic hour traditions for religious services, adapting to Finnish summers when daylight extends through most of the night hours.
