About this experience

Kirkjubær in Hróarstunga was a presbitery until 1956, a site of distinction and local intellectuals.

The church dates from 1851 and is well preserved. It has a pulprit dating from the 16. th. century and the baptismal font is beautifully carved by master carver and sculptor Ríkharður Jónsson (ref. Langabúð, Djúpivogur).

The altarpiece dates from the year 1894.
