Copenhagen Synagogue dates back to 1833 and is the main Synagogue for the Jewish population in Denmark. During the 19th century, there was a revival of Roman as well as Greek architecture but this Synagogue shows influences of Egyptian design- a unique fact in itself. The synagogue was designed by G. F. Hetsch in semi-oriental style with classic details- something that catches your straight away.

With the Second World War heralding a scare into the Jewish community, the Torahs of the synagogue were hidden away in the Trinitatis Church to later make their way back home post the war. In 1985, the place suffered from Terrorist attacks. Today, the synagogue has stood the test of time and offers a whole new world of beautiful cultural art work, spiritual ambience and gorgeous design.
