Cathedral of Christ the King

Gorgeous cathedral , beautifull from outside even better on the inside . Went on a stroll around the city ,and saw the tower from afar so followed the streets until I met the cathedral ,at the time I visited it had scaffolding around ( probably repairs or maintenance ) . From inside it's filled with colours and looks amazing just like the photos , entered and sit for about 1 hour just thinking about life ,about everything . It's the only Catholic cathedral in Iceland it seems it was constructed around 1920( 1923). The acess is easy ,has plenty of parking space and access to wheelchairs is great ,the only challenge for wheelchairs might be the streets because it's always going up. If you visit Reykjavik YOU must visit this church !

We arrived in Iceland at seven and by the time we got to the church, the bells were ringing right at 8 AM for mass. The church is gorgeous inside and out. I highly recommend you come check it out and just sit for about 30 minutes you will walk out so refreshed and uplifted.

The Cathedral of Christ the King, while less famous than Hallgrimskirkja, holds its own with a unique history and architectural style. This Roman Catholic cathedral, built in the 1920s, serves as a spiritual center for Iceland's Catholic community. Its design contrasts with the local architectural style, featuring a classic European cathedral structure, which makes it a distinct landmark in Reykjavik. Interesting fact, this church is the only basilica in Reykjavik! 😍

Such a warm and welcoming church! The atmosphere is peaceful, and the community is genuinely friendly. The building itself is beautiful, and the services are always thoughtful and uplifting. Its a place where you instantly feel at home.

Beautiful neo classical Catholic Church. We went to the Sunday evening English mass and it was very nice
