Húsavíkurkirkja

The small church is one of few buildings left at Húsavík in the East fjords of Iceland. The last permanent inhabitants left the place in 1972 but the church is well maintained and open to the public (see note for inside shot).

Die kleine Kirche ist eines der wenigen erhaltenen Gebäude in Húsavík in den isländischen Ostfjorden. Die letzten Bewohner gaben den Ort 1972 auf, aber die Kirche istt sehr gepflegt und steht allen Besuchern offen (siehe PiP).

HFF folks, enjoy your weekend!

Gudrun ^club has replied to ©UdoSm ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Udo! Diese kleinen isländischen Holzkirchen haben alle einen ähnlichen Stil. Die bayrischen Kapellen sind zwar katholisch, dort ist man lutherisch, aber sie ähneln sich wirklich!

Das muss ja eine überwältigende Landschaft sein, Gudrun! Rührend und berührend das Kirchlein in dieser Einsamkeit und in seiner Schlichtheit. Ein wenig musste ich über die Altarschranke schmunzeln - die Erinnerung an ein Laufställchen zwang sich mir auf ;-)...
Hast du dich im Gästebuch eingetragen???

Gudrun ^club has replied to Uli F. ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Ui! Haha, die Laufställchen hat es bei diesen Kirchlein immer:-) Sie sehen sich auch äußerlich oft ziemlich ähnlich, ich vermute fast, dass die auch wie viele Häuser teilweise als Fertigbausatz per Schiff kamen.Ins Gästebuch habe ich mich nicht eingetragen (ich stehe auf Kriegsfuß mit Gästebüchern), aber andere haben es getan.

I had to run the name of the place through Google translate audio and it's a mouthful. :D

Gudrun ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

This one's comparatively easy, but most times Google translate doesn't deal well with Icelandic. I usually let it translate to English and then to German to try and make sense of it;-)
