Húsavíkurkirkja

„Í Húsavík er Húsavíkurkirkja, byggð 1937. Í Húsavíkursókn voru jarðirnar fjórar í víkinni, en auk þess Litlavík og Álftavík. Katólsku kirkjurnar í Húsavík voru helgaðar Maríu guðsmóður og kirkjan, sem stendur þar nú, var byggð 1937-1939. Þetta er lítið trékirkja með sætum fyrir 25-30 manns og litlu klukknaporti. Hún skemmdist í veðurhamnum 1938 en stóð þó á grunninum. Í henni er skírnarskál úr tini og ártalinu 1685 og tveir koparstjakar frá svipuðum tíma. Tvenn gömul altarisklæði, gamall hökull og rykkilín úr kirkjunni eru í Þjóðminjasafni. (...) Veðrun og landbrot hafa brotið niður hluta af gamla kirkjugarðinum sem stendur á sjávarbakkanum, skammt frá kirkjunni, þannig að kistubrot og bein hafa verið að koma í ljós.“

Kirkjubæjarkirkja

„Prestssetur var að Kirkjubæ til 1956. Núverandi kirkja var reist 1851, stór og stílhrein timburkirkja. Séra Jón Þorsteinsson lét reisa kirkjuna. Hún er velbyggt hús og var tjörguð að utan annað veifið og hefur ekki þurft mikið viðhald. Bárujárnsþakið var sett á hana árið 1915 og árið 1929 var hún klædd bárujárni að utan. Samtímis voru útveggir málaðir hvítir og þakið rautt. Í henni er predikunarstóll frá tíð Guðbrands Þorlákssonar, biskups á Hólum, með myndum af postulunum Páli og Pétri, Lúkasi guðspjallamanni, Davíð konungi og dönsku konungshjónunum, Friðriki og Soffíu, sem gáfu stólinn. Altaristaflan er eftir Anker Lund frá 1894 og sýnir er Kristur birtist Maríu Magdalenu við gröfina.“
