The Synagogue in Cardiff is an Ashkenazi synagogue completed in 1896-97 by architect Delissa Joseph. It was rebuilt in 1989. In use until 1989, this stone synagogue in the Neo-Romanesque style now serves as an office building.
The Norwegian church is a poignant reminder of when Cardiff was one of the greatest sea ports in the World. Norwegian ships transported Scandinavian timber to South Wales for use as ‘pit props' in the coal mines, and would then export coal back to Norway. The church was founded in 1868 by Herman Lunde of Oslo. It acted as a Seaman's mission with Scandinavian newspapers, magazines and facilities for writing letters home.
The church was in 1883-6, by architect J Prichard. He did only the first three bays of the nave (his cruciform plan having proved over ambitious), and Kempson & Fowler added the chancel with the south chapel and north vestry in 1892-3. GE Halliday added the two bays of the west end in 1897.
