Uppsala Mosque

Uppsala Mosque is a place of worship located in the northern part of the city, serving as a dedicated space for Islamic prayers and community gatherings year-round. The building accommodates visitors from many backgrounds and supports both religious and social activities.

The mosque was established to serve the growing Muslim population in Uppsala during a period of increasing religious diversity in Swedish society. Its founding reflects the changing demographic makeup of the city and broader social shifts.

The mosque runs educational programs including Quran schools for both Arabic and non-Arabic speakers, making it a gathering place for people from many backgrounds. These offerings help deepen understanding of Islamic teachings within the wider community.

The mosque is located in the Kvarngärdet neighborhood and is accessible by public transportation. Visitors should check beforehand about access to the building, as it maintains regular prayer schedules that may limit visiting hours.

The building was targeted in an attack in 2015, making it a symbol of the religious tensions Sweden experienced during that period. Despite this incident, the mosque remains an active place for the community.
