Ingjaldshólskirkja

Church Snæfellsbær, Vesturland, Iceland

What to expect

Ingjaldshóll is a historical site located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in West Iceland. It was once a former settlement manor and an assembly site, and important officials lived here. The current church at Ingjaldshóll, built in 1903, is the oldest concrete church in Iceland and serves the neighboring villages of Hellissandur and Rif. The site offers a grand view of the fjord Breiðafjörður and the glacier Snæfellsjökull. Ingjaldshóll is also renowned for its strange stories and folklore, including tales of trolls and spells, as well as protection from the powerful spirit of Bárður Snæfellsás. Visitors can explore the church and its surroundings, which feature a beautiful monument of the noted Eggert Ólafsson and his wife Ingibjörg Guðmundsdóttir
