The Hamad Bin Khalifa Civilisation Center (HBKCC) is a sunni mosque in the Outer Nørrebro borough of Copenhagen, Denmark. Built in 2014, it is the first purposely-built mosque in Denmark and one of the largest in Europe.
The mosque was designed by the Danish architects Jan Wenzel & Lars Tuxen and is the property of the Danish Islamic Council. It has the capacity to host 3,000 people indoors, and an extra 1,500 in an inner courtyard. The mosque’s exterior is made of titanium, glass and polished concrete. Many architectural elements symbolize the link of the building with Mecca.
The mosque contains, among other things, a 17-ton dome with a diameter of 16 meters and a Minaret, an Islamic lighthouse, of 20 meters.
