Hvalsneskirkja is a beautiful stone church located in Hvalnes, on the Reykjanes peninsula. It was built between 1886-87 mostly from rocks in the vicinity and driftwood from the nearby beaches. If you're into churches, architecture and beautiful buildings, this one is only a short drive from the Keflavík Airport.
