bericht van Dana R.

Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran parish church in Reykjavík, Iceland, known for its unique design and towering presence. Standing at 74.5 meters tall, it's the largest church in Iceland and a major landmark in the city.

The church's distinctive curved spire and side wings make it a symbol of Iceland's national identity. Designed by Guðjón Samúelsson, it resembles Iceland's natural landscapes, with influences from expressionist architecture. Inside, visitors can light candles, admire two large pipe organs, and even take a lift to the observation deck for panoramic views of Reykjavík. With a rich history spanning over four decades, Hallgrímskirkja continues to be a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike.

The church can be visited for free but if you want to access the tower you need to purchase a ticket
