Möðrudalur Church

Möðrudalur Church
Möðrudalur (469m) is the highest and most isolated populated place in Iceland. It has been a working (sheep) farm since settlement times. The church was built in 1949 by farmer Jón Stefánsson in memory of his late wife.He also painted the picture over the altar (see note).

Ach war das schön in dem Kaffi gegenüber der Kirche einen Kaffee schlürfen zu können ... :)

Das glaube ich! Wir hatten leider keine Zeit, wir sind nur zum Tanken hin und hatten noch den langen Askja-Tag vor uns.

Danke für Deinen Besuch und die vielen Sternchen!

Thank you, Amelia! It's really incredible what Icelandic farmers in their isolation come up with- he even painted the altar picture himself! I have some more Icelandic churches which I will upload in due time;-)

Vielen Dank, Uli! Die Kirche hat der Bauer dort selber gebaut und er hat auch das Altarbild gemalt!
