About Þykkvabæjarkirkja (Þykkvibær Church)

Þykkvabæjarkirkja is a picturesque turf church built in 1890-1895, one of the few remaining turf churches in Iceland. The church features traditional grass-covered roof and walls, blending harmoniously with the landscape. Located near the famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano, it survived the 2010 eruption unscathed. The simple interior reflects rural Icelandic church design from the late 19th century.
