The Uppsala Mosque is a modest yet well-frequented place of worship situated in the Kvarngärdet neighborhood of Uppsala, Sweden. While it serves the community throughout the week, Friday prayers are not held at this location. Instead, they take place at another small mosque in Uppsala, located at Bandstolsvägen 28, near Gottsunda Centrum. The mosque is designed with separate entrances for men and women, and its prayer hall features a gable roof topped with glass panels. This design allows natural sunlight to fill the space, creating a calm and serene environment ideal for reflection and worship.
Architecturally, the mosque incorporates elements of traditional Islamic design. Its white exterior facades are adorned with a variety of repeating arch shapes crafted from concrete and gypsum, giving the building a distinctive character. A wide, blue-colored dome and a single minaret—also topped with matching blue—enhance the mosque’s visual identity. The entrances are highlighted with a contrasting grey color, making them easy for visitors to identify. Facilities include parking, a landscaped courtyard, and dedicated prayer halls for men and women, both furnished with books and Qurans. Ablution areas for each gender are also provided, featuring stainless steel fixtures for comfort and hygiene.
