One of the interesting things to see at old assembly site in the Thingvelir National Park is Thingvallakirkja (Thingvelir Church) which has a history dating back nearly 1000 years. the small building you see today is of traditional Icelandic architecture, creme white colour with green trim. It was mostly constructed in 1859 with the bell tower being added in 1907.

It is worth a brief look-see while exploring the grounds around Thingvelir. The white buildings just beside date back to the 1930s, there are information panels near both buildings if you want to read up on their history summaries. There are a couple of...

A nice little church ⛪ at this beautiful and historic Thingvellir National park.

Came see to see the Valley caused by the separation of 2 tectonic plates, North American and Eurasian tectonic which are drifting in opposite direction at the rate of 2 cm every year.

Visitors can walk through between the rocky cliffs and fissures to take in the beautiful sights of this natural park.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site was also the place of the ancient parliament of the Viking commonwealth, where meetings were held there in the...

Thingvellir Kilisesi Thingvellir Ulusal Park alanında Althing, Silfra, Öxará nehri ve vadiler haricinde ziyaret edilebilecek bir kaç yer daha var. Mesela Thingvellir kilisesi. İzlandalılar paganlıktan hıristiyanlığa yine bu bölgede 1000 yıllında geçmişler ve bu daha önce bahsettiğimiz gibi İzlanda meclisi Althing burada olduğu için bu geçiş kararı da burada olmuş. 1000 yılının yaz mevsiminde meclis birbirine karşı ikiye gruba ayrılmış haldeymiş; Hıristiyanlar ve Paganlar. İki taraf tüm tartışmalar sonunda tüm İzlandalıların hangi dini takip etmesi gerektiğine karar vermesi için bir hukuk konuşmacısı bir kişiyi görevlendirmişler; Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði. Þorgeir bir pagan rahip imiş düşünmek ve doğru kararı vermek için bir gün bir gece toplumdan uzakta meditasyon yapmış. Meclise döndüğünde, kendisi bir pagan rahip rağmen İzlandalıların hıristiyanlığı takip etmeleri gerektiğini söylemiş ve isteyen paganların inançlarını daha kapalı bir şekilde uygulayabileceğini ve paganlıktan kalan bazı geleneklerin devam edebileceğini belirtmiş. Kararın ardından paganlıkla ilgili tüm idol ve semboller Goðafoss şelalesinden aşağı atılmış. Zaten bu yüzden adanın kuzeyindeki bu şelaleye God-a-foss yani tanrıların şelalesi denmekteymiş. Hıristiyanlığa geçme kararından sonra bu din İzlanda’da çok hızlı bir şekilde yayılmış ve hemen kısa bir süre sonra bu kararın alındığı Althing’in karşısına bu kilise inşa edilmiş. 2000 yılında ise binlerce kişinin katılımıyla hıristiyanlığa geçişin 1000. yılı 2 gün süren bir festival...
