Budir Church

Reviewed By ThreeIfBySkyBlog

The original Búðakirkja was built in 1703 but, due to lack of attendees, the church was torn down. It was rebuilt in 1987 after a sole member of the church requested to bring it back. The stark blackness and isolation is the main attraction, though some ancient relics and historic graveyard are impressive. Though isolated it is often crowded so hard to get a photo of it or with it without anyone else in the photo.

Stykkisholmskirkja

Reviewed By KeithFagg - North Geelong, Australia

This extraordinary church building dominates much of the village skyline. The external design seems over the top, with a lot of different themes, but the internals are simple and stylish, right down to the minimalist light fittings. Set on an elevated site, the car park offers lovely views over the many surrounding islands. Do visit this lovely church.
