Búðakirkja, Historic wooden church in Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland.

The black-painted wooden Búðakirkja church stands against the mountains of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, creating a stark contrast with its surroundings.

Built in 1703 and reconstructed in 1848, the church represents centuries of religious presence in the remote Búðir area of Iceland.

The church maintains its role as a parish center while welcoming visitors who appreciate its architectural design and connection to Icelandic heritage.

Visitors can reach Búðakirkja by following road 578 from route 54, continuing toward Hellnar until reaching the designated path to the church.

The church bell and chalice from the original 1703 construction remain preserved within the current structure, connecting past and present generations.
