Hiking

The cathedral, built by the Danes in 1796 (modified in 1847) to mark the end of the dioceses of Skalholt and Holar, surprises with its modest dimensions. Note the simple wooden furnishings with gold accents. The church overlooks the Alþing.

Episcopal see and oldest church in Iceland. The bright, light-flooded church in the neoclassical style can be visited daily.

The Reykjavik Cathedral is located right next to the Houses of Parliament and near Lake Tjörnin. The present church was built in 1847 because the old church was too small and dilapidated.
Especially worth seeing is the baptismal font.
