This spectacular church sits on a hilltop, and is visible from many parts of Reykjavik. At 74.5 metres (244 ft) high, it is the largest church in Iceland. It is the sixth tallest building in Iceland. The building was designed in 1937. Construction started in 1945, and wasn’t completed until 1986. Like Harpa, its design is inspired by basalt columns.
