Halgrims Church is located on a hill in the center of Reykjavik. It is named after the famous Icelandic writer Halgrims. It commemorates his great contribution to Icelandic literature. The church, built in 1930, is a landmark building in Reykjavik. The Sigson statue in front of the church was built in memory of Leifur Eiriksson, the father of Iceland's independence. Designed by Gudjon Samuelsson, a renowned Icelandic architect, the church began to lay its foundations in 1940. It took almost half a century to complete the church because it was funded by the church and donated by its followers. The church has a novel design, which is a pipe organ structure. The main hall is over 30 meters high and can accommodate 1200 people. The main tower is 72 meters high and can take an elevator to the top floor to overlook the whole capital. The shape of the lava left over from Iceland's volcanic eruption inspired his creation. He used local creative materials and local building materials to design a church with innovative coordinates and Icelandic national style.
