Message from Ashley Castellanos

Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran parish church in Reykjavík, Iceland, known for its unique design and towering presence. Standing at 74.5 meters tall, it's the largest church in Iceland and a major landmark in the city. The church's distinctive curved spire and side wings make it a symbol of Iceland's national identity. Designed by Guðjón Samúelsson, it took over 40 years to build, with construction starting in 1945 and ending in 1986. Inside, visitors can light candles, explore the impressive pipe organs, and even take a lift up to the observation deck for panoramic views of Reykjavík and the surrounding mountains.
