The Great Synagogue of Stockholm, on Wahrendorffsgatan near Kungsträdgården, was designed by Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander, who made the designs in 1862. Construction ran from 1867 to 1870, and the infobox lists brick as the material. The infobox and text both call the style Moorish Revival, and the text calls it a paraphrase over Oriental motifs.
Hebrew inscriptions are etched and painted into the stonework. The front facade carries a verse from Exodus 25:8 and 9, and the rear facade carries the building's formal name and a verse from Isaiah 57:19. The infobox gives 900 seats. The article gives no dimensions or interior description.
It is the active synagogue of the Conservative congregation. The Jewish Community Library is in the basement, and a mikvah was built there in 2017. A Holocaust memorial with more than 8,000 names was dedicated in 1998, and the building was listed in 1991.
