Iconic hilltop church in Iceland

Sightseeing

Message from Nicole Zohdi

Vík í Mýrdal Church is a small church located in the village of Vík, Iceland. Perched high on a hill, it stands as a beacon overlooking the town and surrounding area. With its picturesque setting and stunning views, the church is not only a place of worship but also a symbol of resilience against the potential dangers posed by the nearby Katla volcano. In the event of an eruption, the church is believed to be the only building that could withstand a catastrophic flood, making it a vital refuge for the community.
