Stockholm Mosque, Islamic place of worship in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.
Description
Stockholm Mosque is a place of worship in Södermalm housed in a converted brick building with Art Nouveau architecture and Moroccan design influences. The building accommodates around 2000 worshippers and contains classrooms, a library, and event halls.
History
The building was originally the Katarinastationen power station, designed by Ferdinand Boberg in 1903 with a distinctive industrial exterior. After two decades of planning and renovation, it became a mosque in 2000 and has served the Muslim community ever since.
Culture
The mosque serves as a gathering place for Stockholm's Muslim community, hosting prayers, classes, and shared celebrations throughout the year. Visitors can observe how the space brings people together for both spiritual practice and social connection.
Practical
The mosque is located at Kapellgränd 10 near Björns trädgård park and is open daily for prayer sessions. Visitors should dress modestly and respect prayer times and customs when entering the space.
Did you know?
The building retains its original industrial facade with Art Nouveau details that recall its past as a power station from the outside. This contrast between the classical exterior form and its contemporary religious use makes the space architecturally distinctive.
