Trondheim Synagogue

The Trondheim Synagogue (Norwegian: Synagogen i Trondheim) is an Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at Arkitekt Christies gate 1B, in Trondheim, Norway. Established as a congregation in June 1892, the present synagogue has served the Jewish community since its inauguration on October 13, 1925. It was built to replace the first synagogue in Trondheim, the St Jørgensveita Synagogue, which was opened in 1899.^[2]

Since 1997, the building has also served as a Jewish museum.

The synagogue was originally Orthodox, but is no longer. There is no longer separate seating for men and women. The synagogue still has a gallery where the women once sat separately.^[3] Used for profane purposes by Nazis during World War II, the synagogue was reconsecrated in 1947 and continued to serve as a synagogue.^[2]

It is the second-northernmost synagogue in the world (after the synagogue in Fairbanks, Alaska).^[4]
