If you mean official gold reserves held by central banks, the European countries with the largest gold holdings are approximately:
- Germany – about 3,350 metric tonnes
- Italy – about 2,450 metric tonnes
- France – about 2,440 metric tonnes
- Russia (partly in Europe and partly in Asia) – over 2,300 metric tonnes
- Switzerland – about 1,040 metric tonnes
- Netherlands – about 610 metric tonnes
- Türkiye (transcontinental) – around 600+ metric tonnes
- Portugal – about 380 metric tonnes
- United Kingdom – about 310 metric tonnes
- Spain – about 280 metric tonnes
If you mean gold mined from the ground, the ranking is different. Europe does not produce a large share of the world’s gold, but countries such as Russia, Finland, Sweden, and Türkiye are among the continent’s leading gold producers.
So:
- Largest official gold reserves: Germany
- Largest gold producer in Europe (including transcontinental countries): Russia
