The church of Funningur, also known as Funnings Kirkja, is a charming architectural gem located on an islet in the village. Built in 1847, it's one of the newest wooden churches in the Faroe Islands. Inside, you'll find artistic treasures and a serene atmosphere that will transport you back in time. Legend has it that an unpainted Jesus figure from the original 1690 church washed ashore nearby. Don't miss the old pew reserved for new moms and the sign kindly asking folks not to spit on the floor. It's a must-visit spot for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike!
