Ingjaldsholskirkja church

Ingjaldshóll church stands on a low hill between the fishing villages of Hellissandur and Rif, at the western tip of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Its red roof and white walls stand out against the coast and mountains, which is why it draws photographers. Built in 1903, it is Iceland's oldest concrete church, and local tradition ties it to a story that Christopher Columbus wintered here in 1477 to study the northern sea routes.
