Highlights: The four churches ● Akureyrarkirkja ● Grundarkirkja Munkaþverárkirkja ● Saurbæjarkirkja
There are over 25 churches in Akureyri and the town’s countryside. Here we take our time to visit a few that tell us the religion and cultural Saga of Icelanders. We visit churches that all are unique in
their own way. Some are built of wood, others of concrete and turf is even the building material of one of them.
