About Akrakirkja
Akrakirkja er í Borgarprestakalli í Borgarfjarðarprófastsdæmi. Hún var byggð árið 1900. Kirkja hefur staðið að Ökrum allt frá kristnitöku en fyrstu heimildir eru frá því um 1200. Kaþólskar kirkjur voru helgaðar Maríu guðsmóður og prestur sat þar fram undir siðaskipti. Akrar tilheyrðu Hítarnesþingum, sem voru lögð niður 1880 og sóknin lögð til Staðarhrauns og síðan til Borgar 1950. Tveim árum síðar aftur til Staðarhrauns og að nýju til Borgar 1970. Árið 1899 var kirkjan endurbyggð og stækkuð. Á árunum 1986-87 voru gerðar miklar endurbætur á kirkjunni. Hún er timburkirkja, klædd bárujárni og grunnurinn er hlaðinn“ (1). Kirkjan var friðuð árið 1990 (2).
