The Essalammosquee is a large mosque in the Rotterdam district of Feijenoord, near the football stadium de Kuip. The place of worship is the largest mosque in the Netherlands. Due to its size, the mosque is a prominent feature of the neighborhood. The dome is 25 meters high and the minarets are 50 meters high.
The original Essalammosquee was established in 1987 but quickly proved too small for the 2,500-strong community. The construction of a new place of worship took place from 2003 to 2010 and was accompanied by many problems, causing the construction to frequently come to a halt. The Essalammosquee was finally opened on December 17, 2010. A common misconception is that the mosque is the largest in Europe. In Western Europe, there are larger mosques in Rome, Paris, Évry, and London.
