I enjoyed the english language Sunday evening mass when I stayed in Reykjavik for a week. I felt very welcome and being able to attend an English language mass while on vacation made me feel right at home.

Gorgeous little church in the middle of nowhere. Very busy when I visited but plenty of parking. This is the rebuilt church after the original was torn down from disuse.

The outside of Domkirkjan is the traditional style Lutheran church building, simple and clean lines. There was no signage or signs of life, but I checked and the door was unlocked so we went in. I was surprised on walking inside; it was more ornate than I expected. We were told (on our Citywalk tour) that this church (not Hallgrimskirkja) is "the church" of Iceland, it has the history and the connection with the government that the newer (albeit larger) church lacks. Since the parliament building (althingi) is right next door, the church and government actually worked hand-in-hand. As we were leaving, I was charmed by the built-in bookshelves for hymnals in the back. Free to visit.

The site has an amazing history and an incredible feeling of peace and calm. We were lucky to find the place virtually deserted, but the size of the car park indicated it could get very busy sometimes! The cathedral itself is a bit scruffy and there are no tourist facilities so don’t expect to much. However, if you strike lucky and have the place to yourself, you may find it as magical as we did.

Beautiful Church overlooking the Black Beach. Stained glass is very pretty. Worth a quick stop to see the stained glass and views

Selfoss was the biggest town outside of where we stayed in Iceland, I was continually drawn to the park at the edge of the river where you can see the church across the way. It is such a pretty little area.
