The church was built in 1884, and was the last turf church built in the
old style. It is one of the six churches still standing, which are
preserved as historical monuments. The church is maintained by the
National Museum but also serves as a parish church. The church was
built by the carpenter Pál Pálsson. The lock and the hinges of the
church were made by Þorsteinn Gisurarson, called “tool,” who was a
well-known blacksmit.
