Hallgrímskirkja Reykjavík

The tallest building in Iceland is a church in Reykjavik known as Hallgrímskirkja, which literally means ‘Church of Hallgrìmur’. The building was designed by Iceland’s state architect, Guðjón Samúelsson in 1937, though construction on the church didn’t begin until 1945 and took 38 years to complete. Hallgrímskirkja is named for the Icelandic poet Hallgrímur Pétursson, the clergyman who wrote the Passion Hymns.

There are a number of special services in English held at the church throughout the year, particularly around key holidays like Easter and Christmas. Also of interest to visitors is the stunning church organ featuring 5275 pipes, built by Johannes Klais. Hallgrímskirkja’s leading attraction is the tower which visitors can take an elevator the top of to get an unparalleled birds’ eye view over the whole of Reykjavik. The tower is open every day between 9am and 5pm, there is a nominal fee for ascending to the top.
