Domkirkjan, Reykjavik

Well, I'm a bit biased. My wife and I got married here in 2008 so this place has quite a bit of the old sentimental value for me. The building is beautiful, one of the oldest buildings in Reykjavik, originally built in the late 1700's and then rebuilt around the mid 1800's. I strongly recommend visiting if you get the chance.

Pretty church with huge pipe organ that does summer concerts so during the concert you can't go into the church unless you pay for the concert. Very basic inside. Can pay to take the elevator up to the tower for city views. Be aware the bell chimes are really loud & startling up there if you're not expecting it!

I was baptized here the 5. of oktober 1958. My father was from Reykjavík, and my Mother from Faroe Islands. We all moved to the Faroes in 1961, ans we still live here. I've been in the city, but not yet had the opportunity to visit this church. Some day I will do it!

This church is a lot bigger inside that its external size suggests. It is a Lutheran Cathedral and has a statue outside to Hallgrímur Pétursson. It is a relatively modern cathedral dating to when the political and bureaucratic centre of Iceland was relocated to Reykjavik after ecological and environmental disasters in the 18th Century and this also included consolidation of the clergy as well. It is attractive internally.

Small little church near the parliament. We tried the door and it was open, so we went in. This is in contrast with other countries where the church door.is open when the church itself is open. If you are interested in going in, don't hesitate to try the door!
