Facts and practical information

Glerárkirkja is a church in Akureyri, Iceland. It is a parish church of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland. In 1969 a building committee was formed to find a place for a new church for the neighborhood. Lögmannshlíðarkirkja, the previous church dated to 1860, was deemed as too small for the congregation. Lögmannshlíðarkirkja is well maintained today and occasionally performs ecclesiastical ceremonies. ()
