The Great Synagogue, built in 1833, is the spiritual heart of Copenhagen's Jewish community. Designed in a neoclassical style with a striking dome, it stands as a symbol of religious tolerance and cultural heritage. Visitors can join guided tours to learn about Jewish history in Denmark and see the ornate Torah ark and stained glass. The synagogue is an active place of worship, so respectful attire and quiet are expected.
