Húsavíkurkirkja, Lutheran church in Húsavík, Iceland.

The church features a Swiss chalet architectural design with a 26-meter steeple and wooden construction materials imported from Norway for its structure.

State architect Rögnvaldur Ólafsson designed and constructed this Lutheran church in 1907, establishing it as the main religious building in Húsavík.

The interior displays a painting of Lazarus resurrection by Sveinn Thórarinsson, incorporating elements of Icelandic landscapes behind the altar.

The church remains open for visits throughout the year and conducts regular services, weddings, baptisms, and community gatherings for local residents.

A pipe organ installed in 1964 fills the wooden interior with music during services, while hand-carved details by Johann Bjornsson adorn the walls.

Inception: 1907
