Landakotskirkja, Catholic cathedral in Reykjavík, Iceland.

The Landakotskirkja cathedral features a distinctive flat-topped spire and pointed arches, constructed entirely of concrete in the Gothic Revival style.

French priests Bernard Bernard and Jean-Baptiste Baudoin established the first Catholic chapel on the Landakot farmstead in 1864, preceding the current structure.

The cathedral displays numerous artworks created by Atelier J.W. Ramakers & Sons from Holland, including decorative side altars and an ornate pulpit.

Located at Túngötu 13 in Reykjavík, the cathedral maintains regular hours from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM for visitors and worshippers.

Upon completion in 1929, this cathedral held the title of largest church in Iceland until the construction of Hallgrimskirkja.
