Churches

We did not see many large or old churches.  Most of them were family churches, such as that at Hoffstedir, where the priest is there five times a year.

Many have been torn down and rebuilt, making their structures much more modern.

The most impressive church we saw was in Reykjavik, which dominates the skyline.  It took 70 years to build, and one can climb to the top of the tower.  Unfortunately, it was closed when we were available to do so.  Nevertheless, it is an impressive building.

The statue in front of the cathedral is of Leifur Ericsson, the famous Viking.

And not so Leif Ericsson

This was one of the prettier churches in the area, with its stained glass.

The settings of these two are spectacular!
