What people say
Nally Preseault
"Búðakirkja is a tiny, black, wooden church surrounded by lava fields in the equally tiny hamlet of Búðir. A church was first established here in 1703. The current building, which can hold 50 people, was completed in 1848. It has an organ and two bells, but no heat or plumbing. The pastor is a woman. The church is still used for local events and weddings. But most of the time, it's locked. Visitors can still peek in the windows and walk around the connected graveyard. If you only visit one church besides Reykjavík's Hallgrímskirkja, make it this one."

"❗️EVA'S TIP: If you are curious about the famous "black church" in Iceland, this is located in this Peninsula. Other than that, is just a church and a nice landscape. "
