The Vidimyri Turf Church

Holidays in iceland

Vidimyri is considered to be one of the finest examples of Icelandic architecture.

The Turf Church was built in 1834 from a mixture of driftwood and turf, it is probably one of the strangest buildings that you will ever see.

The pulpit dates back to an earlier church and the Danish altar dates from 1616.

This strange architectural style stems from a lack of natural resources.

The Vidimyri turf church is one of the six so-called turf churches that are still standing in Iceland.

It has been preserved as a monument and still functions as a parish church.
