This turf structure is the oldest church in Iceland. It is located on the north side of the country (Skagi Peninsula) near the village of Hofsos. Parts of the turf church date back to the 17th century. Turf structures like this were often used during that time for houses, churches, and businesses. Weird fact, this church is the only one in Iceland with a circular turf-wall around the graveyard and the church.
