Bellevue Mosque, Islamic center in Bellevue district, Gothenburg, Sweden
Bellevue Mosque is a Muslim place of worship in the Bellevue district of Gothenburg, Sweden, with separate prayer areas for men and women. The building also contains washing facilities for ritual purification and rooms set aside for classes and administration.
The mosque was founded in 1993 with support from Saudi Arabia, during a period when Islamic institutions were growing across the city. In 2004, a youth center opened as a separate branch to reach younger members of the community.
The mosque takes its name from the Bellevue neighborhood, an area where many families with immigrant backgrounds have settled over the years. Beyond prayer, the building is used for classes and talks that bring together people from many different countries of origin.
The mosque is on Generalsgatan 2A in the Bellevue neighborhood and can be reached by public transport. Visitors should dress modestly and be mindful of prayer times when planning a visit.
The mosque is run by the Islamic Sunni Centre, an organization that focuses specifically on the Sunni community. Its associated youth branch is called Mångkulturella Ungdoms Center, which translates from Swedish as Multicultural Youth Center.
