Fríkirkjan í Reykjavík

It lies in the centre of the Icelandic capital, by the lake Tjörnin.

Craftsmen and tradesman were growing classes in the town, and new districts were built, and yet Reykjavík Cathedral was still the only church.

Shortly after the new congregation was founded, a suitable site for a new church was chosen at the east of the lake.

Only two years later the church was lengthened, to a design by architect Rögnvaldur Ólafsson.

The pipe organ for Tim Hecker's album Ravedeath, 1972 was recorded at Fríkirkjan in July 2010.
