A small Faroese village with a museum, ruiner cathederal and restored viking house. About 20 minutes from Torshavn by car.

The museum is a recreation of an old-style faroese/Norwegian House. Theres not much to see but if you are in the town it is worth putting your head through the door.

The ruined cathederal is interesting as is the viking house on the waterfront. Both could do with a little love and restoration to be a true tourist attraction.

If you have an hour or two to kill in torshavn, it is worth a drive...

Cuộc sống của cư dân tại quần đảo hẻo lánh nhất Âu Châu. Nhiếp ảnh gia Kevin Faingnaert tới thăm quần đảo Faroe, nơi có những ngôi làng chỉ 9 người ở, và ghi lại những hình ảnh về cuộc sống...

Quần đảo Faroe nằm trong vùng biển Na Uy là một trong những nơi hẻo lánh nhất châu Âu. Nhà thờ tại làng Kirkja, nơi chỉ vẻn vẹn 9 cư dân sinh sống.

Visited September 2024. Truly magnificent. A twenty minute drive from the centre of Tórshavn transports you back eight hundred years. The Gothic styled St Magnus Cathedral 'Kirkjubømúrurin' dating back to 1300 is as awe-inspiring as I could have imagined. Surprisingly this is the newer of the two with Saint Olav's Church 'Ólavskirkjan', built before 1200, stood yards away. Saint Olav's surprisingly is the white one.

Add to the mix stunning views of Streymoy, Hestur and...

Great place to visit during Faroe Islands trip! If you're up for a little challenge take a walk from Torshavn directly to Kirkjuboir via highlands and plateau. Approx 2-3 hrs walk with stunning views, and sensation of complete isolation during. Just be careful about descending as it's really steep. Oh, and one more thing. Don't forget to check transport back. We had to walk all the way back ( 16 km car road ) since it was Sunday, and no public services

Kirkjubømúrurin, literally “the wall,” refers to the spectacular ruins of the Magnus Cathedral. Architecturally> Kirkjubømúrurin is a rare, intact fragment of medieval monumental architecture in the North Atlantic, showcasing period building techniques and ecclesiastical planning. Historically> It represents Faroese religious power and cultural sophistication at a time when such installations were scarce in the region.
