Akurkeyri’s main church is the Akureyrarkirkja, situated on Eyrarlandsvegur. It cannot be missed, with a large tower dominating the town’s skyline. The church was designed by the architect Gudjon Samuelsson. It was built in 1940, and is constructed of basalt. The interior is fairly plain, although the 3,200-pipe organ certainly takes some beating. Other notable features include a suspended ship hanging from the ceiling, and a number of reliefs and works of art. The main central window was brought here from the original Coventry Cathedral in England. Regular services of worship are held here, which are quite popular.
