Hallgrimskirkja Lutheran Church. Located in Reykjavik, this stunning church built on a hill is visible from pretty much anywhere in the city. I was able to wander all day and had no trouble finding my way back to my guest house…just down the street from the church!
Named after Rev. Hallgrimur Petursson, a famous Icelandic poet, the church can house 1200. Built by a father and son, construction began in 1945, completed in 1986.
Visitors can take an elevator up 6 storeys to the clock tower (and look out through the clockâs faces) and climb one more flight of stairs to view the city from the arched windows near the top of the tower.
