Cathedral of Christ the King — Attraction in Reykjavik

Gorgeous cathedral , beautifull from outside even better on the inside .

Went on a stroll around the city ,and saw the tower from afar so followed the streets until I met the cathedral ,at the time I visited it had scaffolding around ( probably repairs or maintenance ) . From inside it's filled with colours and looks amazing just like the photos , entered and sit for about 1 hour just thinking about life ,about everything .

It's the only Catholic cathedral in Iceland it seems it was constructed around 1920( 1923).

The acess is easy ,has plenty of parking space and access to wheelchairs is great ,the only challenge for wheelchairs might be the streets because it's always going up.

If you visit Reykjavik YOU must visit...

I did not get to see inside the church as there was not opening hours on Google Map. Would have loved to see inside. I got to see the outside of the Architecture of the church which was beautiful. I got to see the stained glass windows. I also got to see the Grave markers to respect people who have passed away. beyond the grounds of the church there are play area for children with basketball and with football nets and with various other play areas with picnic tables and many seating areas around. You cannot hear any noise pollution here. It is very peaceful place. Which I think any spiritual place is very important to feel peaceful. and I also think it is a very beautiful aspiration to see children playing just outside...

I visited here in late July 2019 when I was staying nearby and wanted to go to Saturday night Vigil Mass for my Sunday Holy Day of Obligation. I’m so glad that I did. This Neo-Gothic designed Cathedral has a rather modest overall interior, but the blue and blue green tones inside are soothing and add to the peaceful and prayerful environment within. It has quite a unique feel inside that departs from some Cathedrals that are too dark or too bright. I’m sure that on a snowy Advent or Christmas night it is a special place to worship the Christ Child in the Eucharist. Make sure to also visit the bell...
