Reykjavík Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in central Reykjavík, Iceland.

The white stone cathedral features a symmetrical facade with twin bell towers and large stained glass windows facing Austurvöllur square.

Established in 1787, the cathedral marked the beginning of organized Lutheran worship in Iceland's capital and continues to represent the Church of Iceland.

The cathedral maintains regular choir performances and holds ceremonies for national celebrations, incorporating both religious traditions and Icelandic customs.

Located next to Parliament House, the cathedral opens daily from 10:00 to 16:30 and conducts services in Icelandic with translation services available.

The cathedral's pipe organ, installed in 1985, contains over 3,200 pipes and creates music that resonates through the wooden interior structure.
