bericht van Dani Jonas

Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran parish church in Reykjavík, Iceland, known for its towering presence and unique design. Standing at 74.5 meters tall, it's like the big kid on the block, dominating the city skyline. With its curved spire and side wings, it's become a symbol of Icelandic pride since its completion in 1986. The church, named after poet Hallgrímur Pétursson, is a blend of expressionist and traditional architecture, resembling Iceland's natural landscapes. Inside, you can light a candle for a loved one, check out the massive pipe organs, and even take an elevator ride to the top for killer views of Reykjavík. Plus, there's a cool statue of explorer Leif Erikson out front, gifted by the U.S. during Iceland's millennial celebration.
