Hallgrimskirkja (the church of Hallgrimur), is a Lutheran Church located in the city of Reykjavík.
It is Iceland’s tallest church and the highest building in downtown Reykjavik.
As a structure built of concrete, the surface of Hallgrimskirkja is coated in a rough cast of white granite.
It’s an essential element making the connection between the architectural style and the raw Icelandic nature, which resulted in a blend of modernism and Icelandic naturalism.
The span of the jagged columns on both sides created a memorable wide facade, inspired by the world-renowned black sand beach Reynisfjara on the South Coast, and Svartifoss, Black Waterfall in Skaftafell Nature Reserve near the largest glacier Vatnajokull.
I found it very difficult to get the kind of photo I wanted from here.
Either there were cars parked right in front of the church or the sun was shining right at me.
This photo and the previous one were the best that I could do.
