Designed by architect Jon Haraldsson who is well known for his modernistic white church architecture designed it featuring the dramatic bell tower made from two swooping concrete fins modelled on a whale vertebrae..
The church is also well known for its acoustics and hosts musical events throughout the year.
The altar piece was painted by Kristin Gunnlaugsdottir, Icelandic visual artist who lives and works in Reykjavik. The painting is of Maria carrying the infant Jesus.
