Reykjavík Cathedral, known in Icelandic as Dómkirkjan í Reykjavík, is a historic church located in the heart of Reykjavík, Iceland. It serves as the mother church for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland and is situated next to the Alþingishúsið, the Icelandic Parliament House. The cathedral was consecrated in 1796, making it one of the oldest buildings in the city. Its simple yet elegant neoclassical design reflects the architectural style of that period. Over the years, the cathedral has played a significant role in Icelandic history, hosting important national ceremonies and events.
