Húsavík Wooden Church is a beautiful and historic gem in the town. The church’s classic Icelandic architecture, with its white walls and green roof, is both charming and picturesque. Inside, the wooden interior is warm and inviting, with intricate details that reflect its history and craftsmanship. It’s a peaceful place to visit, whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a moment of quiet reflection. A must-see when in Húsavík!

Lovely wooden church, can be seen across Husavik. Was a wonderful little moment when driving into Husavik we spotted the church as we came over the hill. We didn't look inside but it was a lovely picture postcard moment. Be sure to view at night as it is lit up wonderfully.

Little wooden church in the city centre, near the whale museum. The visit is free and takes 5 minutes.. absolutely worth visiting!!

A very beautiful church and compared to the most small churches in Iceland, this one stands out with its very own style.

Cute church next to the port of Husavik. It was open from the side door. Quick stop.
