Hvalneskirkja church (DSC_0260 vk) - a photo on Flickriver

Digital Nikon D3200. July 2014. Hvalnes Iceland.

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 were 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 grave stone of Steinunn Hallgrímsdóttir who died when she was four years old in 1649. She was the daughter of Hallgrímur Pétursson, Iceland’s most important psalmist who 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 however it had been used as a part of a walkway leading to the church. Text: beiceland.is/
