The churches in Iceland are incredibly scenic and beautiful. They often sit on a hill overlooking the ocean. You can feel the history of the place as you stand in some of these remote locations. “Kirkja” means church in Icelandic.

Love this post. Each image depicts another unique church. Interesting architecture and landscape.
Thank you! We love finding them as we drive through the countryside.
That looks like a wonderful place to visit! Like a fantasy world.
It’s one of a kind! We keep going back because there are still so many interesing things we haven’t seen yet. What you don’t see here is that we were extremely fortunate to find new relatives on my husband’s side while we were in Reykjavik this last trip!
Hello.
Really beautiful churches. I did not find any inside photos. In my country offers inside churches for example Votive ships! They are beautiful and well-done

Happy and safe travels!
Thank you so much for linking your post about ships in churches. It is new to me and absolutely wonderful! Your pictures are beautiful. I had no idea of that lovely tradition and will always think of it now.
Gorgeous captures of beautifully created Churches!
Thank you! Such wonderful surprises.
