Details of the organ of Hallgrímur Church, Reykjavik, October 16, 2022. Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran rite church located in Reykjavík. At 74.5 meters, it is the tallest building in that country. The church is named after the Icelandic poet Hallgrímur Pétursson. The church's architect, Guðjón Samúelsson, was inspired by the basaltic lava flows of the Icelandic landscape to build the facade. The interior of the church has three naves and houses a large pipe organ made by the German organ builder Johannes Klais of Bonn. The statue in front of the church depicts Leif Eriksson, son of Erik the Red. This statue was made by Alexander Stirling Calder and was a gift from the United States of America to the Icelandic people in 1930, as a memorial commemorating the 1,000th anniversary of the establishment of the Alþingi, the oldest parliament in Europe and one of the oldest in the world.
