Iceland Höfn í Hornafirði

Búðakirkja

A picturesque black church known for its striking contrast against the Icelandic landscape, often a subject of photography and tourism admiration.

Tips from the community

Find Iceland’s famous black church, Búðir, in the Búðahraun Lava Field: a barren stretch of rocks and grass in Iceland’s Snaefellsnes peninsula. The church’s striking black exterior is painted with pitch to protect against the weather — and it’s everything you could possibly dream of in a moody Icelandic landscape. At roughly 2 hours north of Reyjkavik, the country’s capital, it’s pretty easy to escape up here for a day trip to take in the views.
