The Norrköping Synagogue (Swedish: Norrköpings synagoga) is a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Bebyggelseregistret, in Brådgatan, in the Nordantill borough of Norrköping, in Östergötland County, Sweden. The former synagogue was designed by Edvard Medén and Carl Stål in the Neoclassical and Moorish Revival styles and completed in 1858.[1]

The former synagogue was classified as a listed building in 1978.[2][4]

## History

[edit]

In accordance with the statute from 1782, Norrköping along with Stockholm and Gothenburg became the only cities where Jews were permitted to settle permanently at that time. A previous smaller synagogue had been built in 1790s, funded by the German-Jewish merchant Jacob Marcus.[5][6] The current synagogue was built between 1855 and 1858, was based on designs made by the architects Edvard Medén and Carl Stål.[7]

The synagogue no longer hosts regular services of worship due to the decline of the Jewish population in the area. However, the building is still used occasionally for concerts and other events.
