Trondheim Synagogue, Neoclassical synagogue in Trondheim, Norway.
Trondheim Synagogue is a Neoclassical prayer hall housed in a former railway station building with light blue walls and arched windows. The space was converted in 1925 to serve the local Jewish community.
The building was designed by architect Georg Andrea Bull in 1864 as a railway station and converted to a synagogue in 1925 as the Jewish community grew. This transformation reflects the changing role of the site in the city.
The building houses a museum with exhibits about Jewish life in Trondheim, including artifacts from Holocaust survivors and immigration stories.
The synagogue is best visited during Friday evening services, which run regularly throughout the year, and High Holiday celebrations also take place. Visitors should note that activities pause during July and should check ahead before planning a visit.
This site holds the position as the northernmost synagogue in the world specifically built as a house of worship, aside from one location in Alaska. This geographic distinction makes it a notable religious site in the Nordic region.
