The church was completed in 1929 and consecrated on July 23, same year. Following that, Marteinn Meulenberg, who was the head of the mission and initiated the construction of the church, was ordained the first Catholic bishop in Iceland after the reformation.
For a long time, the Cathedral of Christ the King was the country’s largest church. Once, Meulenberg was asked if the church was not too big for such a small congregation (which counted about 130 people). He replied that within a few years no one would talk about how big the church was, but rather asking why he had not built an even bigger church.
The Church is dedicated to Jesus Christ, eternal God and King and bears the name CHRIST THE KING in honor of Christs Lordship of the Universe.
