Hvannasund

Hvannasund (Danish: Kvannesund, older spelling: Quannesund) is a village and municipality in the Faroe Islands, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.

A large cracked rock rests in an area just north of Hvannasund.

An old legend details that the rock, called Skrudhettan, broke the very moment that Jesus was born.

On 26 May 2008, the ocean inexplicably receded 2½ – 3 metres before suddenly hitting the area with great strength.

In 2016 an additional building was built next to the church to be used for events that require space for more people, such as funerals, weddings and baptisms.
