About Oslo Synagogue
Oslo Synagogue is the synagogue of an Orthodox Jewish congregation, Det Mosaiske Trossamfund, in the St. Hanshaugen area of Oslo. The congregation was founded in 1892, and the present building dates from 1920: a two-storey stuccoed building with a round tower topped by a spire bearing a Star of David, which the architectural historian Carol Herselle Krinsky likened to a simple and charming country chapel. King Harald V and Crown Prince Haakon visited in June 2009. On 21 February 2015, around 1,000 people, at the initiative of young Norwegian Muslims, formed a 'ring of peace' around the synagogue on the Sabbath against antisemitic violence.
