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 Islamic Sunni Centre (ISC) was formed in 1993 and is funded by Saudi Arabia. In 2005 the ISC built the current Bellevue Mosque in a former food hall at Stallmästargatan 5, while keeping its older mosque on Generalsgatan. The youth section, Mångkulturella Ungdoms Center, was formed in 2004.
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 occupies a former food hall on Stallmästargatan 5, across the street from the congregation's older premises on Generalsgatan, where the association Sveriges Förenade Muslimer and the youth group TUFF were later housed. The new building was completed in 2005.
