Iceland, Reflect 365

105 | Architecture :: Olafsvik, Iceland, 2014

Posted on

Everyone’s seen Hallgrimskirkja (Hallgrim’s Church) in Reykjavik, but Iceland is actually the home to many other modernist churches, including the Ólafsvíkurkirkja in the little fishing village of Olafsvik, population ~1,000. The church was consecrated in 1967, and if you look closely, it’s made entirely of triangles. We weren’t looking for it exactly, but there happened to be a double rainbow in the sky when we were driving through town, and we stopped by to take a look. The church was made more magnificent by the gorgeous backdrop of the mountain on one side, the ocean on the other, and a waterfall in between. Just one of many little pleasant surprises on our Iceland road trip!
