Schnelle Fakten: Mit einer Höhe von 73 Metern gehört es zu den höchsten Bauwerken des Landes und ist von fast überall in der Hauptstadt aus zu sehen. Das Design ist von den basaltischen Lavaflüssen Islands inspiriert und verleiht der Außenfassade ein auffälliges, stufenartiges Erscheinungsbild.
Highlights: Die Fahrt mit dem Aufzug zum Aussichtsturm bietet einen Panoramablick von 360 Grad, von schneebedeckten Bergen bis hin zum Atlantischen Ozean. Oben im Inneren der Kirche dominiert eine prächtige 15 Tonnen schwere Orgel, bekannt für ihren reichen Klang und das kunstvolle Design isländischer Handwerker.
Insidertipps
- Wear comfortable shoes as you’ll be standing and walking during your visit.
- The best photos can be taken from the top of the tower just before sunset.
- Skip weekday afternoons when tour groups are most frequent.
- Inside the church, take time to listen to the organ if there’s a live performance.
