In Reykjavik, the northernmost capital city in the world, you can find this insane church — Hallgrímskirkja. Its construction began in 1945 but did not end until a long-winded 38 years later. At 244 ft (73m) tall, it juts straight up and into the sky, practically turning the city into a giant sundial. Its geometric, jagged structure paired with its smooth, tapering curves, gives it a unique aesthetic not seen anywhere else in the world.
Inside the church is a large, mechanical action pipe organ. Its 5275 pipes combine to form a massive, 49 ft (15m) tall musical instrument. Hop onto the elevator to the top of the church, and you’ll find a small observatory providing some of the best views of Reykjavik.
