Funningur Church

It was inaugurated on 30 November 1847 and is for that reason the newest of the old traditional wooden churches.

The spot where the church stands is called Niðri í Hólma ("down on the islet").

Nowadays the area is no longer like an islet, as the River Stórá runs from the north of the church and flows below it.

The river also separates the church from the new cemetery, which was inaugurated in 1941 and expanded in 1972.

The pulpit is in front of the foremost of the women's pews.
