Grafarkirkja is one of the few remaining turf churches in the country and is believed to have been built in the early 17th century. The church's unique architecture and construction using local materials, such as turf, stone, and wood, make it a fascinating destination if you are interested in history and culture.

You can also explore the interior of the church, which has been carefully preserved and restored over the years, and learn about the traditions and way of life of the local people who once worshipped there.

The church is situated in a picturesque location, surrounded by beautiful countryside and rolling hills, making it a great spot for photography and nature lovers.
