Ingjaldshólskirkja, located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in West-Iceland, is a former settlement manor and assembly site known for its powerful and wealthy Sturlunga Clan control throughout the 12th and 13th centuries. Today, it is home to Iceland’s oldest concrete church. In addition, there is a monument at Ingjaldshóll honouring the notable Eggert Ólafsson, natural scientist, poet and explorer, and his wife Ingibjörg Guðmundsdóttir made by sculptor Páll Guðmundsson from Húsafell. It was rumored that Christopher Columbus had stayed at Ingjaldshóll during the winter of 1477-78. For amazing views, visitors can visit the 41-meter view-dial at Háholt where they should watch out for the overly aggressive resident Arctic tern. Whether you’re looking for a piece of Icelandic history or a great view, Ingjaldshóll has something for everyone!
