    One of Iceland's last turf churches (1858), tucked away in the Eyjafjörður Valley. Its turf-covered roof seems to blend into the landscape, recalling how Icelanders lived and sheltered in times past. Inside, the dark wood and an altar painted by Ásgrímur Jónsson convey calm and tradition. Small, humble, and unique: a living piece of Icelandic rural history.
