Detail InformationEdit

The church at Hvalsnes was consecrated in 1887. Ketill Ketilsson farmer and ship owner at Kotvogur, who then owned the land at Hvalsnes financed the building of the church. The church is preserved and all of the wood was collected from the shores nearby. Extensive repairs where made to the church in 1945 under the supervision of the architect of the state. One of the most remarkable items of the church is the gravestone of STEiNUNN Hallgrimsdottir who died when she was 4 years old in 1649. She was the daughter of Hallgrimur Petursson Iceland’s most important psalmist which at that time served as a priest at the parish in Hvalsnes. The gravestone was lost for a long time but was discovered again in 1964 but it had been used as a part of a walkway leading to the church.
