Gothenburg Synagogue

The Gothenburg Synagogue (Swedish: Göteborgs synagoga) at Stora Nygatan, near Drottningtorget, Gothenburg, Sweden, was opened in 1855 according to the designs of the German architect August Krüger. The congregation is Conservative. The synagogue sanctuary has 300 seats.

Between 25-30% of the membership fees are used for security measures, as Jews are attacked by migrants from the Middle East, the far-left and the far-right.

The synagogue was firebombed on Saturday, 9 December 2017. Three non-Swedish men were arrested. Prosecutor Stina Lundqvist said about 10 to 15 people may have attacked "in concert". The attack was condemned as antisemitic by mayor Ann-Sofie Hermansson. In the aftermath of the attack, the synagogue was visited by two cabinet ministers in a show of support from the highest political level.
