Strandarkirkja is a stunning, historic Lutheran parish Church located in Selvogur, on the southern coast of Iceland. Strandarkirkja (meaning “Coastal Church”) is a renowned landmark for any visiting traveler passing by sea, earning it the nickname of 'miracle church" among locals who believe it to be blessed with divine powers. Originally built in the 12th century, the church has stood strong through time and now still functions as a parish church, An iconic statue of Landsýn or Land in Sight stands nearby as a testament to the original founding story of the church.
