Message from Ragga Ragnars

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 the largest church in Iceland and a major landmark in the city. The church's distinctive curved spire and side wings make it a standout feature on the Reykjavík skyline. Designed by State Architect Guðjón Samúelsson, the church's construction spanned over four decades, finally being completed in 1986. Inside, visitors can light candles, admire the impressive pipe organs, and even take a lift up to the observation deck (for a fee) for panoramic views of Reykjavík and the surrounding mountains.
