The location is so imposing that I wonder why it hadn't been used for a church before - the old church is on Aðalgata. The new church was consecrated in 1990.
This short video (http://tinyurl.com/qxrayux - not taken by me) shows the interior of the church, including a painting by Kristín Gunnlaugsdóttir of a very Icelandic-looking Mary and Jesus.
I stayed in Akureyri last night because the bus from Stykkishólmur arrived after the last bus to Húsavík left. After getting a takeaway fish curry for lunch, I've gone into a hostel near the bus station to borrow their cutlery and WiFi.
