Saksun

A picturesque village on Streymoy Island, Faroe Islands, known for its turf-roofed houses and tranquil lagoon surrounded by steep mountains.

Tips from the community

This church is in the village of Saksun, near the northwest coast of Streymoy. Here, history prevails and charm levels easily reach 12/10. The simple architecture lends way to the ridiculous backdrop and spectacular views, and is gorgeous it its own right. Witnessing a blush-colored dusk highlight the exterior of the postcard-perfect church and poufs of cloud stretching across the fable-like terrain is something from a dream.
