Message from Dani Jonas

Hofskirkja Turf Church in Öræfi, South-East Iceland, is the youngest of the remaining turf churches in the country. Built in 1883-1885, this charming church has a rock wall and a roof made of stone slabs covered with turf. The church is now closed to the public but is maintained by the National Museum of Iceland. Located near Vatnajökull glacier, Hofskirkja is a must-visit for those exploring the stunning landscapes of South-East Iceland.
