Iceland's Candy-Colored Churches

Skip the usual Reykjavík cathedral—these vibrant chapels steal the show! 1️⃣ Búðakirkja (Black Church) 📍 Snæfellsnes Peninsula Pitch-black wooden church in a lava field—pure Silent Hill vibes. Built in the 1700s with no electricity—best shot in stormy weather. 2️⃣ Reyniskirkja (Red Church) 📍 Near Vík (South Coast) Fire-engine red against Reynisfjara’s black sand—iconic contrast! 📸 Pro shot: Shoot from the hillside to frame the church with Dyrhólaey Arch. 3️⃣ Ingjaldshólskirkja (Red & White Church) 📍 Snæfellsnes Peninsula 1842 wooden gem—its bold red stands alone in the wilderness. Winter: Looks like a Christmas card; Summer: Surrounded by lupine fields. 4️⃣ Seyðisfjarðarkirkja (Blue Church) 📍 Seyðisfjörður (Eastfjords) Tiffany-blue chapel with a rainbow path leading to the harbor. July magic: "Northern Lights Festival" lights it up at night! #Seyðisfjarðarkirkja#Ingjalshóll Church#Reyniskirkja Church#Búðakirkja#Reykjavík#travel guide#trip diary#Church
