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.

Katedra w Reykjavíku, zwana Dómkirkjan í Reykjavík, jest główną świątynią Kościoła Islandii. Znajduje się ona w centrum miasta i jest jednym z jego najważniejszych zabytków. Katedra została zbudowana w latach 1788-1796, a jej projektantem był duński architekt Johannes Wiedewelt. Z zewnątrz budowla prezentuje się imponująco, dzięki swojemu białemu kamieniowi i charakterystycznym, ciemnym wieżom. Wnętrze katedry jest równie piękne, z licznymi witrażami, malowidłami i rzeźbami. Szczególnie warto zwrócić uwagę na ołtarz główny, który jest ozdobiony pięknymi rzeźbami i bogatą dekoracją. Katedra w Reykjavíku jest miejscem wielu ważnych uroczystości kościelnych, ale również kulturalnych i politycznych. Co roku odbywają się tu liczne koncerty, wystawy i inne wydarzenia kulturalne, przyciągając turystów i mieszkańców miasta. Dla odwiedzających katedrę dostępne są także wycieczki i zwiedzanie, które pozwalają poznać historię i architekturę tego wspaniałego zabytku. Pozdrawiam Krystian

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.

Dómkirkjan í Reykjavík, or the Reykjavík Cathedral, stands as a charming, historic church in the heart of the city. Its elegant simplicity, vibrant red roof, and peaceful interior offer a serene retreat. A must-visit for its cultural significance and tranquil ambiance, blending Icelandic tradition with architectural grace.

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!

This small Church is located in downtown Reykjavik, on the main square, next door to Icelandic Parliament. Domkirkjan is in fact the main Lutheran Cathedral of Iceland, not the Hallgrimskirkja. The interiors are more beautiful and decorated than the austere ones in Hallgrimskirkja
