The Church of Halgrímur Pétursson, located in the center of Reykjavik, is the largest church in Iceland and has become the sixth tallest building in Iceland at74.5 meters high. The church is named after the famous Icelandic priest and poet Hallgrímur Pétursson. Designed by architect Gujón Samúelsson in 1937, the overall construction work began in 1945 and ended in 1986. As the most important landmark in the city, it can be seen in any corner of the city. The lift inside the church leads to the observation deck at the top, where you can enjoy the views of the entire Reykjavik mountains. There is also a huge organ inside the church, 15 meters high and weighing 25 tons. On the square in front of the church stands a statue of explorer Lef • Erikson, a gift from the United States to Iceland to commemorate the 1,000th anniversary of the founding of the Icelandic Parliament in 1930.

It's also one of the protagonists in my hand-painted travel account and one of the famous landmarks in Reykjavik, Iceland "Hal Grims Cathedral". It's also the largest church in Iceland. The whole building clearly knows that it's Icelandic because the design concept of the building is derived from the unique basalt shape here. If time is enough, it's recommended to go to the tower. The whole city of Reykjavik is a panoramic view. After all, this is the highest point of the whole city. When you take the elevator to the top, the top of the pipe organ church is not sealed. It is ventilated on all sides and overlooks the whole city near the window. It happens to meet a very distinctive organ performance. It's worth sitting down and enjoying it quietly.
