Hallgrímskirkja with Klais organ

Hallgrímskirkja was designed by Icelandic state architect Guðjón Samúelsson (1887-1950). Construction of the church started in 1945 but the nave was only completed in 1986.
The church has a large concert organ built by Johannes Klais, Bonn.
The backrests of the benches can be turned so that during concerts people sit facing the organ. For church services they face the altar and choir.

Das Biuld mit der Orgel gefällt mir sehr gut. Das lenkt den Blick sehr schön in's Bild. Das Gewölbe ist hell und schön! Da ist sprichwörtlich viel "Luft nach oben"!

Danke vielmals, Frank! Wenn man bedenkt, dass das alles Beton ist, der kann gut aussehen:-)
