Mosque Keizerstraat

Ahmadiyya mosque standing next door to a synagogue, an iconic pairing

The Keizerstraat Mosque is the headquarters of Suriname's Lahore Ahmadiyya community. Its current domed building was completed in 1984 beside Neveh Shalom Synagogue, creating the city's best-known religious streetscape.

Admire the pairing without turning it into a simplistic claim that Suriname has no religious tensions. Both buildings are active. Dress modestly and ask permission before entering or photographing people.
