    The church in Sandavàgur is the oldest Faroese church that is both designed and built of Faroe islanders. The church opened in 1917.

      Historically, Sandavágur has a rich past. A 13th-century runestone was discovered here in 1917, indicating the presence of early Norse settlers, including a Viking named Torkil Onundarson. We visit this runestone in the striking red-roofed church, built in 1917.
