      Kirkjubømúrurin is the ruin of Magnus Cathedral from around 1300. It is unclear whether the cathedral was ever completed or consecrated.

        A little higher and further inland are the ruins of the Gothic St. Magnus Cathedral, also known as Magnus Cathedral because of its size. Kirkjubømúrurin, or simply Múrurin (Faroese for "the wall"), is the ruin of Magnus Cathedral (also Magnus Cathedral, Faroese Magnus-katedralurin) from around 1300 in Kirkjubøur, Faroe Islands. It is on the waiting list for UNESCO World Heritage listing and is the most important medieval building in the Faroe Islands.
