Hallgrímskirkja and Landakotskirkja

A previous post mentioned the 19th century change from Catholicism to Lutheranism in Iceland's official state religion.  We visited the more recognized Lutheran church in Reykjavik shortly after landing last week - the Hallgrímskirkja (an early post has more photos).

There's also a famous Catholic church in Reykjavik, Landakotskirkja or Christ The King Cathedral. Both were designed by the State Architect Guðjón Samúelsson. We visited it early on our free day Thursday.

I couldn't resist including my namesake saint (and dropping a few kroner into the box).
