The Evangelical-Lutheran church Hallgrimskirkja is a living and thriving church in the center of Reykjavík. Hallgrímskirkja is both a national monument, dedicated to the most renowned sacred poet of Iceland, Hallgrímur Pétursson, and a mid-town parish church with a vibrant parochial life and musical activity. Hallgrímskirkja is the largest church in Iceland and towers over the centre of Reykjavík. It also houses the largest organ in the country. The tower is 73 meters high. It provides a panoramic view of Reykjavík, the surrounding mountains and the ocean stretching west to Greenland and the Americas. The tower is among the most visited tourist destinations in Reykjavík. The church was built between 1945 and 1986, and the parish is part of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Iceland.

Over the years, the hall has been known by various names – originally, the building was called the Independence House by Austurvöllur and the hall has a strong connection to Icelandic music history, where concerts and dances took place from the middle of the last century. Later, it became the entertainment venue Sigtún, and even later the Nasa entertainment venue operated there for a period. Today, the hall has been meticulously renovated, with efforts made to recreate its original appearance.
