When Christianity arrived in Iceland in 1000 CE, the church quickly became the focal point of local communities. But on a remote island in the Northern Atlantic, these houses of worship would not be the dazzling & gilded constructs of classic Europe.
Instead, a modest but unique design style would emerge, and these captivating examples of craftsmanship would prove instrumental in shaping the country's architectural landscape.
From small wooden turf roofed chapels; to a black church nestled next to a grassy lava flow; to breathtaking spires that dominate their valley surrounds, join us on a journey to discover the enchanting world of Iceland's churches.
