Viðey Church Greater Reykjavík

The second-oldest wooden church in Iceland, Viðey Church dates from the 18th century. Look out for the original decor and the tomb of the former owner of Viðey, Skúli Magnússon – he died here in 1794. Excavations of the old monastery foundations unearthed 15th-century wax tablets and a runic love letter, now kept in the National Museum.
