The small village church stands directly on the beach and defies the storm in front of the spectacular mountain backdrop

Tjørnuvík Church is a small red-painted wooden chapel that stands in the Faroe Islands village of the same name on the island of Streymoy. Built in 1846, the chapel is a popular tourist destination due to its unique architecture and scenic location. The chapel has whitewashed walls, an organ, benches and a small bell tower. Visitors can also find a statue of St. Gudmund, the patron saint of the Faroe Islands, in front of the chapel. The chapel offers stunning views of the coastline as well as the nearby island of Mykines. The unique location of Tjørnuvík Church makes it one of the best places in the Faroe Islands to experience the idyllic nature of the islands. Visitors can enjoy the picturesque beauty, tranquil atmosphere and peaceful surroundings. It is also worth noting that the chapel is only accessible on foot, making it a great place to stroll and enjoy the view.
