Landakotskirkja

Landakotskirkja, formally named "The Basilica of Christ the King", is the cathedral of the Catholic Church in Iceland. It is a Neo-Gothic church designed by the architect Gujn Samelsson. It was sanctified in 1929 and was then the biggest church in Iceland, although Catholics are only about 1% of the population (somewhat higher now with the recent arrival of Polish immigrants).
