Around 1200 the then bishop began building this monster of a church. Built all of hand hewn basalt, it really is a well done structure. However, no one knows if it was actually completed.

The first church was built here around 1100. It was remodeled and rebuilt a number of times in different styles. This latest version is more in keeping with the original style. Those are some very straight-backed pews...no nodding off here! By the end of the service your sins were paid in full. 80% of the Faroese population are evangelical Lutherans.

The views here are less spectacular than other parts of the Faroes, but still very pleasing.

Kirkjubour is one of the earliest settlement in the Faroe Islands, dating back to around the 11th to 12th century. Right around Viking times. I believe this stone building was one of the first dwellings, but there was no specific signage or notes in the info books. The roof was recently rebuilt out of birch planks, covered with birch bark, which was in turn covered with sod. The two doors were about 40 inches tall.

After yesterday's full schedule of peaking, today sounded like a Lems kind of day. Just poke around and see where the trusty Kia takes me. I visited with a Faroese tour guide at the beginning of my trek and they gave me a list of 4 must see/do experiences. The last on my list was traveling to the ancient village of Kirkjubour at the southernmost tip of Stremoy.
