Kolfreyjustaður Church is a small but mighty place of worship located in Fáskrúðsfjörður, Iceland. It is a piece of history that dates back to 1878 and contains pieces from long before that, such as the chalice used for holy services. It has ties to folklore as it is said that there was once a giantess called Kolfreyja who would haunt the ministers of the parish. Visiting Kolfreyjustaður Church is sure to provide a unique experience in an interesting corner of the world!
