Description
The construction of the first church there started in 1957, but the cemetery was consecrated in 1938 and Holmavik has been the seat of the Reverend since 1948. The Lutheran bishop of the country consecrated the church on Ascension Day in 1968. It was built on the Stake Mound and designed by the architect Gunnar Olafsson, who died during the construction period and Mr. Sveinn Kjarval took over and designed the interior and equipment systems except for the altar and pulpit, which are made of fur like the whole interior.
