Description
Grafarkirkja Church, also known as the Chapel at Gröf in Höfðaströnd, in North Iceland, is Iceland's oldest turf church. Parts of the current turf church date back to the 17th century.
Back in the olden days, Icelanders used to live in turf houses and the churches were made of turf, but now only a handful of turf churches remain in Iceland.
