    Christianskirkjan

    Christian's Church

    This church was built according to the design of the Danish architect Peter Koch and consecrated in 1963. The name derives from the Danish king Christian X, when the church was consecrated to the dead. This is one of the earliest examples of modern Faroese architecture, which combines national traditions and trends of the modern world. The traditional Faroese wooden church was taken as a model, but the building was not constructed of wood, but of basalt, is much larger than traditional churches, and doesn't have a bell tower.
